Saṃdāna (संदान) refers to a part of the elephant’s body from which their “must-fluid” originates, 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.—Verse 15 mentions must fluid as coming from the saṃdāna, a part of the body the exact location of which is not certain but which seems to be a part of the leg, particularly perhaps the hind leg. Again, IX.9 and 14 indicate the penis as an important source of must fluid.
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.
