The sensitiveness (to stimuli of control) of elephants is known to be seven-fold according as it is extreme, shallow, deep, conformable to meaning, contrary to meaning, harsh (karkaśavedana), and perfect. 24. Without (independent) volition and (also) without sensitivity (to the driver’s stimulus), one who acts contrary and shows excessive vice, he shall be considered one of harsh sensitivity (karkaśavedana)”.
