Some definitions of 'pleasant' from the Elephant chapter:
Friends are pleasant, enjoyment is pleasant, a good work is pleasant in the hour of death, the state of a mother and a father is pleasant, pleasant is virtue lasting into old age, pleasant is the attainment of intelligence and the avoidance of sins. The giving up of all grief is pleasant.
The elephant is a symbol of endurance and self restraint. I think it is a good symbol, because we know that the elephant is capable of huge harm if it is not restrained.
