The second, White Elephant Demon, was the mount of Manjushri Bodhisattva.
The third was even more impressive. He was actually Tathagata Buddha's maternal uncle. He was a Great Peng Bird who had once swallowed Tathagata Buddha's mother, after which Tathagata Buddha emerged from his body and acknowledged him as his maternal uncle.
