Dinamaṇi (दिनमणि) refers to the “sun”, according to the 15th century Mātaṅgalīlā composed by Nīlakaṇṭha in 263 Sanskrit verses, dealing with elephantology in ancient  India, focusing on the science of management and treatment of elephants.—[Cf. chapter 8, “on marks of character”]: “16. Their ‘sheen’ (or ‘shadow,’ chāyā) is five-fold. As a thick bank of clouds may cover the sun (dinamaṇi), so it may obliterate the (significance of the) bodily characteristics of an elephant. It is (five-fold) according to the difference of (the five) elements. The first cloud-shaped (‘shadow’) is produced by earth; two (‘not-one,’ ‘more-than-one’) are produced by water and fire. These three are most valuable. The two other than these (produced by air and ether) are displeasing and highly undesirable”.
