Hastyāyurveda (हस्त्यायुर्वेद) is another Sanskrit work on elephants primarily dealing with the medical treatment of elephants. It is quite different in scope and purpose from Mātaṅgalīlā. It covers, however, some of the same ground. The parts of the body, for instance, are listed, in very much greater detail than in Mātaṅgalīlā., VI, 7 ff.; also the daily and seasonal care, feeding, etc., treated in Mātaṅgalīlā, chapter XI. The mythological part of Mātaṅgalīlā I, is likewise contained, at much greater length, in Hastyāyurveda. In large part, however, Hastyāyurveda. is obviously a secondary adaptation to elephants of the theories of Indian (human) medicine. Even the subject of must (cf. Mātaṅgalīlā, IX) is treated only perfunctorily (chiefly as depending on the various bodily ‘‘humors’’) in Hastyāyurveda, II, 61.
