Tirobhṛt (तिरोभृत्) refers to “(covertly) hiding oneself”, 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 1, “on the origin of elephants”]: “[...] The creation of elephants was holy, and for the profit of sacrifice to the Gods, and especially for the welfare of kings. Therefore it is clear that elephants must be zealously tended. [...] 36. Once the Oblation-carrier (Agni) hid himself (tirobhṛt) in anger because the gods did not give him his proper share of the oblation. Brahmā sent forth the elephants of the quarter-regents to search for him, the Fire-god. They went to Agni ’s place of abode and treated violently his consort. Because of her complaint he cursed them, not being able to burn them by reason of his (Brahmā’s) power”.
