As Gajendra had been a Vaishnava king, why did he offer impersonal prayer?

From Manoj

Thank you. Hare Krishna. Question from Manoj Prabhu.
Gajendra was a Vaishnava king in his previous life. Then why does he offer prayers that are impersonal? Answer, Gajendra’s prayers are not exactly impersonal. If we see he offers prayers that are personal as well as apparently impersonal.
For example he talks about the Lord as Namah Shantaya Ghoraya So Ghora refers to the Lord’s incarnation in its fierce, fierce forms like Nasimha and Jamadagni and then he also talks about how Gyan Ghanayacha, Namo Gyan Ghanayacha you are condensed knowledge that is referring to Brahman. Prabhupada and Vishwanathji could both explain that. So there are personal as well as impersonal.
But he doesn’t use any one specific name. And he also talks about the Lord in So he said that you don’t have any material qualities, any material activities. So he does refer to the Lord in that way.
So when he refers to the Lord in that way that can convey the impression as if he is impersonal. But the point is in that particular context Gajendra, it is revealed how when the devotee appeals the Lord comes. Even when the devotee doesn’t call the Lord in specific.
See Gajendra is in an animal’s body. And normally when a soul goes into an animal’s body the soul loses, its memory gets covered and doesn’t remember much. So the fact that Gajendra remembered anything at all is remarkable.
And the fact that Gajendra remembered enough to glorify the Lord in Chai’s poetry is itself extraordinary. But the Gajendra pastime is illustrating that the Lord is so merciful, so eager to help their sadhakas that even if they do not call him directly by his personal name but they sincerely appeal to him. Oh Lord, whosoever you are, please help me.
Then also the Lord comes. When Draupadi called, she called Krishna, Govinda specifically. And Krishna reciprocated.
But Gajendra’s pastime is also extraordinary because Gajendra was not, at least at that time, a devotee. He had been in previous life but that time he was just acting like a materialist. He was like a king of elephants.
And he was enjoying with his queens and children. And fellow elephants. But even such a king, so that means Gajendra is in animal body which itself is disqualified for devotional service in many ways.
He is not a practicing devotee. And he is not calling out the name of the Lord in specific. And in spite of all this, yet when he calls the Lord, even in a generic sense, still the Lord comes.
So, every pastime has a particular focus. And the Gajendra pastime reveals how anybody in danger, if they call out to the Lord, the Lord reciprocates. And intervenes to protect.
Of course, how the Lord will protect will vary depending on person to person. But Gajendra’s pastime has a particular focus. So, Gajendra’s prayers are not impersonal.
But there is no personal reference because the whole pastime is arranged by the Lord. And Gajendra gets recollection of his past life’s bhakti in a particular way by which he doesn’t call out to the Lord by a personal name and still the Lord responds. So, the pastime is arranged to demonstrate the magnanimity of the Lord in responding to the call of need by those who call him.
Thank you.
