They (therefore) each gave one thousand elephants with tusks like the shafts of plough and girdles made of gold and with coverlets of fine blankets of the colour of lotus. They were darkish like rocks and they were always rusty, they were all procured from the banks of the Kamyaka lake and they were covered with defensive armour. They were also very patient and they were all of the best breed. Having made these presents, the kings were admitted (into the sacrificial ground).
