Pīḍāsahiṣṇu (पीडासहिष्णु) refers to “being unable to endure the oppression” (of the smell of the sweat of the 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”]: “Of old, seeing that the throng of gods in the battle of the Gods and Demons could not endure the oppressive smell of the sweat of the elephants (gajasveda-pīḍāsahiṣṇu) in the battle front the Noose-bearer (Varuṇa) then speedily turned the sweat of the elephants inward. Therefore their drops of sweat go inward and the noble elephants expel them from their trunks. But their absence of scrotum was granted by fiat of the Unborn (Brahmā), that they might move more swiftly and freely in battles, etc.”.
