Jihvāmūla (जिह्वामूल) refers to the “tongue root” (i.e., the “soft palate” of an elephant), 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 2, “on favorable marks”]: “13. Their cry that is produced from the tongue root (soft palate) (jihvāmūla-samudbhava) shall be called ‘frothy’ [jihvāmūlasamudbhavaṃ nigaditaṃ phenāyitaṃ syād rutaṃ]; that produced from the lip and the (hard) palate is ‘boated’ (?); that produced in the throat is their ‘roar’, that produced in the cheeks and trunk, their ‘laughter’. All these are auspicious. The sounds of elephants that are due to hunger, thirst, grief, and fright are declared to be very inauspicious.
