To stop a berserk elephaant
It has now and then been discussed if it is possible to stop a berserk elephant, as described on the katar shown. The katar is from Bundi and dated VS 1907 - AD 1850-51, and the text on the katars says. This terrible edged weapon in the hands of the king of Bundee, brings happiness to Bundee and is capable of piercing the templess of elephant's, hence it is called the tongue of death.
The text is quite impressive, but the one who ordered the text could have been bragging. While looking for something else I found a note on the subject. Unfortunately I have not written from where the text is, but it seems as if it was possible to stop a berserk elephant.
