Salah satu hadiahnya adalah seekor gajah yang ditemukan oleh seorang nelayan bernama Kandula. Gajah itu kemudian dinamai sesuai nama penemunya dan hewan ini menjadi kawan Dutugamunu. Kandula berperan sebagai tunggangan Dutugamunu dalam perang-perang yang berujung pada penyatuan Sri Lanka.

King Ealara is said to have been slain in this elephant mounted duel. An Asian Elephant born in 2001 at the National Zoo in Washington, D.C. was named after Kandula. He is the first Asian elephant to be conceived by artificial insemination and the 5th AI birth ever utilizing a method developed by a team of German veterinarians. The mascot of the Sri Lanka Light Infantry Regiment is also named Kandula, after the royal elephant of Dutugamunu. (en)
