This article mainly concentrates on similarities and changes of cultural treatment toward “elephant” in transmission and mutation from old India to pre-Islamic Iran. This subject which is studied generally in four research materials (archaeological finds, documentary representations (such as objects of art like paintings, sculptures, monuments and…) and philological deductions (Shahbazi, IranicaII: 498) ) raises the necessity to acknowledge coexistance and inter-relations between man and elephant in these two societies’ actual and mental treatment and is to determine the criteria by which the position of this creature is evaluated in Iranian religious society .
