Avoiding ( ? young) elephants that are weak, roguish, dull, and ill, one that is endowed with majesty, industrious (or efficient), clever in the eight ways of fighting, heroic, stout, swift, his mind eager (samudyatamana) to slay all living creatures, provided with the favorable marks—such a noble elephant shall be held fit for a king’s battles”.
