: archive.org: The Elephant Lore of the Hindusīṛt (नीरधराकृति) refers to the “cloud-shaped (shadow)� (of certain elephants), according to the 15th century ٲṅgī 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,� ) 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�) (īṛt) is produced by earth; two (‘not-one,� ‘more-than-one�) are produced by water and fire. These three are most valuable. The two other than these (produced by air and ether) are displeasing and highly undesirable�.
