Paripāṭita (परिपाटित) refers to the “falling down (of branches from a tree)”, 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”]: “[...] 11-12. Then, propitiated, the sage Pālakāpya said to the lord of Aṅga [=Romapāda]: ‘Formerly elephants could go anywhere they pleased, and assume any shape; [...] 12. They broke off a branch (which fell) (paripāṭita) upon a hermitage place, where dwelt a hermit named Dīrghatapas. He was angered by this and straightway cursed the elephants. Hence, you see, the elephants were deprived of the power of moving at will, and came to be vehicles for even mortal men. The elephants of the quarters, however, were not cursed’. [...]”.
