Source: archive.org: The Elephant Lore of the HindusVartmamṛttva (वर्त्ममृत्त्व) refers to the “muddy paths” (left behind by 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 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. [...] [Elephants are called] vāraṇa, because they ward off the hosts of hostile kings; mātaṅga, because of the muddiness of their paths (vartmamṛttva). [...]”.
