Avoiding ( ? young) elephants that are weak, roguish, dull, and ill, one that is endowed with majesty, industrious (or efficient) (karmaṇya), clever in the eight ways of fighting (cf. i, 32), heroic, stout, swift, his mind eager to slay all living creatures, provided with the favorable marks—such a noble elephant shall be held fit for a king’s battles”.

Traditional practice of Āyurveda in ancient India dates back to at least the first millenium BC. Literature is commonly written in Sanskrit using various poetic metres.
