Sugandhita (सुगन्धित) refers to the “fragrant body” (of certain elephants), 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”]: “9. (Like) a Brahman (in character) is one who is pure, whose body is fragrant (sugandhita-aṅga) with odors like honey, milk, the rice concoction offered in sacrifice, ghee, or the flowers of the mango; who is fond of peace, and friendly to all elephants; composed, fond of bathing, right minded; so the sages declare”.
