Source: archive.org: The Elephant Lore of the HindusVāraṇendra (वारणेन्द्र) refers to a “noble elephant”, 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 7, “on details of price”]: “2. But one shall take at full price a noble elephant (vāraṇendra) that is endowed with all the desirable qualities; at half price, one that has one eye, foot, or tusk missing, or that is deaf, or diseased; at three-quarters of the (full) price the wise man shall take one that has half an ear or the tail or the like cut off ; one that has lost both tusks or the like, even though (otherwise) a fine elephant, he shall take for a quarter of the price”.
