Bṛhaspati’s name is not only connected with human medicine, but also with gajaśāstra and the treatment of diseases in elephants. He is mentioned in Pālakāpya’s Hastyāyurveda and Nīlakaṇṭha’s Mātaṅgalīlā, and is the reputed author of a treatise on elephants, called Gajalakṣaṇa or Bṛhaspatimata. 31 A treatise on horses, Aśvalakṣaṇa, is also attributed to him.
