"The complexion of that great elephant was white like conch-shell powder, curds, and the froth of cow-milk and bright, pure and soothing like the moon. It was seven hands (slightly more then a foot) in height, nine hands in length, and had a girth of ten hands in the middle. All the seven portions of its body were perfectly developed and strong. It had a serene appearance and a perfectly proportioned and beautiful body. Seen from the front, it had a high head and graceful flanks. Seen from the back, its posterior was slanted like that of a wild boar. Its abdomen was not hollow but sleek like that of a goat. It had long torsoe, jaws, and trunk. Its hump was bow shaped and prominent. All its limbs and other parts of the body were close jointed, rounded, healthy, and ideally proportioned. Its tail was close to its body. Its feet were healthy and beautiful like a turtle. All its twenty toes were white, pure, smooth, and faultless. It had six tusks.
