Lobhana (लोभन) (or Vilobhana) refers to the “cow-seduction” (method of catching elephants), 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 10, “on the catching of elephants”]: “7. Taking five or six reliable cow elephants and covering their backs (literally ‘bellies’) with leather coverings, elephant tenders shall hide under these skins, armed with ropes, etc. Then by striking them with their hands they shall drive the cows straight to a herd, and shall quickly tie up five or six elephants; thus the ‘cow-seduction’ is performed, by seducing them with cows (vaśā-lobhana)”.
