Source: archive.org: The Elephant Lore of the HindusPratīkṣya (प्रतीक्ष्य) refers to “waiting” (before catching the elephant), 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”]: “4. Provided with girth fastenings, spears, bamboo (sticks), goad hooks, fetters, etc., the elephant herdsmen, after waiting (pratīkṣya) there two or three days, then quickly going back into the trap pen, going near the posts, shall by artifices catch the elephants that have desirable qualities and secure them firmly there, and then shall let the herd pass outside”.

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.
