[...] But something should be said in brief about hunting, for the diffusion of its knowledge. [...] Five or six horsemen are quite enough for hunting rhinoceros. The horses should be quiet and well-trained (śikṣita) in their motion. A horseman should strike the rhinoceros with small darts in quick succession on the back. [...]”.
