Source: archive.org: The Elephant Lore of the HindusTisṛ (तिसृ) refers to the “three” (i.e., the three-fold classification of shadows of 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”]: “16. Their ‘sheen’ (or ‘shadow,’ chāyā) is five-fold. As a thick bank of clouds may cover the sun, so it may obliterate the (significance of the) bodily characteristics of an elephant. It is (five-fold) according to the difference of (the five) elements. The first cloud-shaped (‘shadow’) is produced by earth; two (‘not-one,’ ‘more-than-one’) are produced by water and fire. These three (tisṛ) are most valuable [tisraḥ pūjyatamā]. The two other than these (produced by air and ether) are displeasing and highly undesirable”.
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.
