दन्तस्य मूलपरिधिं द्विरायतं प्रोह्य कल्पयेत्शेषम् । अधिकं अनूपचराणां न्यूनं गिरिचारिणां किञ् चित् ॥ ९४-०१ ॥

Measuring the circumference at the base of the tusk, one should leave aside a length equal to twice that measurement and fashion the remaining portion. For elephants inhabiting marshy lands, slightly more should be left, while for those roaming the mountains, the portion left should be slightly less.
