: archive.org: The Elephant Lore of the Hindus岹Բ辱ṇḍ (ओदनपिण्ड) refers to “portions of boiled rice� (to be given to newly caught 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 11, “On the keeping of elephants and their daily and seasonal regimen”]: �11. Of (raw) rice grits (ٲṇḍܱ) a ḵ (less than 14 pint), mixed with grass, is to be given to elephants (when newly caught) ; and one shall increase this measure one ḵ each (day) until it amounts to an ḍh첹 (16 k. = ca. 3 pints). And thus he shall increase day by day the portion of boiled rice also (ǻ岹Բ辱ṇḍ); and in just the same way he shall cause to be administered in proper fashion the other food preparations that are prescribed�.

Āyurveda (आयुर्वेद, ayurveda) is a branch of Indian science dealing with medicine, herbalism, taxology, anatomy, surgery, alchemy and related topics.
