Source: archive.org: The Elephant Lore of the HindusDaivāsura (दैवासुर) refers to the “Gods and Demons”, 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”]: “Of old, seeing that the throng of gods in the battle of the Gods and Demons (daivāsura) could not endure the oppressive smell of the sweat of the elephants in the battle front the Noose-bearer (Varuṇa) then speedily turned the sweat of the elephants inward. Therefore their drops of sweat go inward and the noble elephants expel them from their trunks. But their absence of scrotum was granted by fiat of the Unborn (Brahmā), that they might move more swiftly and freely in battles, etc.”.

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
