Thereafter, O King, eight great elephants, which could go in any direction, were generated. They were headed by Airāvaṇa. Eight she-elephants, headed by Abhramu, were also generated. Generated thereafter from the great ocean were the celebrated gems Kaustubha-maṇi and Padmarāga-maṇi. Lord Viṣṇu, to decorate His chest, desired to possess them. ।। 8-8-5 ।।

हे राजा! इसके बाद आठ बड़े-बड़े हाथी उत्पन्न हुए जो किसी भी दिशा में जा सकते थे। उनमें ऐरावण प्रमुख था। अभ्रमु आदि आठ हथिनियाँ भी उत्पन्न हुईं। तत्पश्चात् महान् समुद्र से विख्यात रत्न कौस्तुभ मणि तथा पद्मराग मणि उत्पन्न हुए। भगवान् विष्णु ने अपने वक्षस्थल को अलंकृत करने के लिए इसे पाने की इच्छा व्यक्त की। ।। ८-८-५ ।।
