Wounds (e.g., due to binding, weapons or cuts) are denoted by the Sanskrit term Vraṇa, according to the 15th century Matangalila composed by Nilakantha 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 (ṇa) due to binding, weapons, and cuts, dryness, stiffness of the limbs, etc.; it destroys disorders due to cold wind, makes the thighs and the (whole) body supple, strengthens quickly, and produces gentleness, good character, strength, and comfort�.
