Original text on this topic:
People place snares on the paths of elephants. When the animal steps in it, a heavy log falls down, which has a sharp bamboo or a iron point at the end. This was directed such that it hits the elephant in the back. This instrument, called gedabohan, is also much used to kill the rhinoceros.
