2.2.13

hastipradhānaṃ vijayo rājñaḥ //

The victory of kings (in battles) depends mainly upon elephants; for elephants, being of large bodily frame, are capable not only to destroy the arrayed army of an enemy, his fortifications, and encampments, but also to undertake works that are dangerous to life.

R. Shamasastry 1915, Kautilya's Arthaśāstra
