Dear Ong Yong Peng;

Almost there. Immediately thought look up "ride elephant" in a parallel
Pali-English corpus, this doesn't exist, so used the corpus that does
exist at La Trobe (see link below), then needed some possible words for
"ride" (see second link), may need to change the case of elephant in the
search to accusative, now need English version of Jatakas which are at
home (I'm not), will continue, bread crumbs like you have just provided
are a good learning tool, a parallel corpus could function as a powerful
Pali-English dictionary:
