Sakthi (सक्थि) refers to the “thighs” (of 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 11, “On the keeping of elephants and their daily and seasonal regimen”]: “19. Bathing of the body overcomes skin disease, wounds due to binding, weapons, and cuts, dryness, stiffness of the limbs, etc.; it destroys disorders due to cold wind, makes the thighs (sakthi) and the (whole) body supple, strengthens quickly, and produces gentleness, good character, strength, and comfort”.
