Source: archive.org: The Elephant Lore of the HindusMāṃsala (मांसल) refers to a “fleshy (kalā-part)” (of the body of an elephant), 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 2, “on favorable marks”]: “4. Whose body is smooth and swarthy, colored (dark) like a sword, or else ruddy with the sheen of gleaming spots in the shape of the svastika, the śrīvatsa-sign, the wheel, the conch, and the lotus; whose buttocks stand out like breasts, and who has a good penis depending (srasta) from a firm belly; whose kalā-part is broad, very fleshy (māṃsala-unnata), and elevated [vistīrṇādhikamāṃsalonnatakalābhāgaḥ]: such an elephant is worthy of a king”.
Āyurveda (आयुर्वेद, ayurveda) is a branch of Indian science dealing with medicine, herbalism, taxology, anatomy, surgery, alchemy and related topics. Traditional practice of Āyurveda in ancient India dates back to at least the first millenium BC. Literature is commonly written in Sanskrit using various poetic metres.
