Hastividyarnava
The ''Hastividyārnava'' of ''Sukumar Barkaith'' is one of the best known illustrated manuscripts of Assam. Commissioned under the patronage of King Siva Singha (1713-1744 C.E.) and his Queen consort Phuleswari, it deals with the management and care of elephants in the royal stables.〔Barkaith, S. (1734) ''Hastividyarnava.'' Edited with an introduction by P.C. Choudhury. Guwahati: Publication Board, Assam.〕〔Barua, M. (2005) The Elephant in Assamese History and Mythology. Kaziranga National Park Centenary Celebration Volume P. 34-39. Published by Forest Department of Assam, Govt. of Assam.〕 The Hastividyārnava is a work that arose in a matrix of disciplined study, prolonged observation and a precedent tradition, and the commission of such a treatise was perhaps considered important as the elephant played an important role in affirming the idea of monarchy and exercising state power.〔
== Content of the Manuscript ==
The treatise itself was written for a ruling monarch, and almost entirely from the view of sustaining monarchy – which elephants are suitable for the kingdom, how they should be trained for use by the nobility and for the purpose of war. The ''Hastividyārnava'' has an elaborate taxonomic system describing the various types of elephants and their character, and it was perhaps considered important for a king to have knowledge regarding elephants, as it is mentioned that only the learned king recognizes particular breeds.
