Whose backs have good spines well concealed (with flesh), long, and curved like bows, whose temporal bosses are hairy and (large) like the swelling breasts of a lovely woman, with broad ears. Jaw, navel, forehead, and pudenda, with copper-colored lip, palate, and tusks (radana), such elephants are worthy of a king”.
