Supratika (Sanskrit: सुप्रतीक, romanized: Supratīka) is the name of many kings, sages and legendary figures, including three different famous elephants in Hindu mythology, foremost among whom is listed as one of the Ashtadiggajas, each representing the eight quarters of the universe. The Hindu epic Mahabharata describes two more elephants by the same name – an elephant that was an incarnation of a sage, and the one that belonged to Bhagadatta, the king of Pragjyotisha.
