Source: archive.org: The Elephant Lore of the HindusRuha (रुह) refers to the “(bodily) hairs” (of an 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 9, “on kinds of must”]: “4. From excess of joy, O prince, arises the must of elephants; but the must of an elephant declines when he is bereft of joy. 5. From the eyes, palate, temples, ears, navel, penis, trunk, and nipples, and from the hairs of the body (tanū-ruha), thus in many ways the must-fluid may flow, O king”.
Āyurveda (आयुर्वेद, ayurveda) is a branch of Indian science dealing with medicine, herbalism, taxology, anatomy, surgery, alchemy and related topics. 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.
