Madakṛt (मदकृत्) refers to “that which produces must” (in 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 1, “on the origin of elephants”]: “[...] 40. Of all creatures the springtime is declared to produce must (intoxication, exhilaration) [madakṛt], but particularly of elephants. Therefore those who are born in spring are scent elephants. And from the smell of their sweat, dung, urine, and must-fluid other elephants instantly are excited (made must). These scent elephants are bringers of victory to kings”.
