যতটা দাগহীন, তুমি কেবল ততটুকুই দুর্বল
— যতটা দাগহীন, তুমি কেবল ততটুকুই দুর্বল
যে রাজা হতে চায় না, চায় না নায়কের প্রস্থান; সফলতা বা সংসার সম্বন্ধে যার ধারণা মোটিভেশনাল স্পিকার বা সাইকোলজিক্যাল কাউন্সিলরের সঙ্গে মেলে না, সে কীভাবে খাপ খাওয়াবে এই সময়ে?
— গোপনবাসীর কান্নাহাসি ৮ : উচ্চাশা

In agricultural societies dependent on monsoons, elephants naturally symbolized fertility and abundance. Only well-watered, vegetation-rich lands could sustain these massive creatures. By receiving Airavata's head, Ganesha inherited this rain-bringing power.
