Mūtragandha (मूत्रगन्ध) refers to “those (elephants) having the odor of urine”, 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”]: “6. Who has the odor of a crow, ape, ass, camel, or cat, or of urine (mūtragandhi), dung, or putrefaction, who slays (other) elephants, and is violent at night, who likes (to eat) sour things, meat, and blood, is undisciplined, and shows no gratitude, of refractory behavior, such a one is an ogre in character”.
