Gaja Shastra is a book on elephants, all about them. Similarly, there are works on horses "Ashwa Sastram". These books have been written in many Indian languages, including Kannada.

Excellent book and I have bought the last publication on Amazon and made a gift to Emily and Burm the owners of a little sanctuary in Thailand, called BEES, Burm and Emily Elephant Sanctuary.They were very happy.

Today, both the elephant keepers of Amer fort, Jaipur & at the corbett national park, use photo-copied versions of the farsi book, "Filnamah" ( Fil - elephant in farsi & famous in Afghan carpets as the " Fil-pai" ( elephant's foot) motif, favoured by Afghan kings in their palace rooms), for the upkeep of their domesticated elephants.

Beautiful! I like the broken chains!
