Source: archive.org: The Elephant Lore of the HindusSaṅgharṣaṇa (सङ्घर्षण) refers to a “tickling (of the palate)” (generated due to smelling something attractive), 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”]: “[After Agni cursed the elephants of the quarters]: The elephants went to Bhṛgu’s hermitage and tore down trees, and voided dung and urine in the holy fire there. Hereupon the good sage straightway became angry: ‘Upon smelling their own dung and urine, let them always be producing a tickling of the palate (tālu-saṅgharṣaṇa) (an attraction for it)!’ Thus they were once cursed by that sage of extensive penance”.
