But one shall take at full price a noble elephant that is endowed with all the desirable qualities; at half price, one that has one eye, foot (ekāṅghri), or tusk missing, or that is deaf, or diseased; at three-quarters of the (full) price the wise man shall take one that has half an ear or the tail or the like cut off ; one that has lost both tusks or the like, even though (otherwise) a fine elephant, he shall take for a quarter of the price”.
