विक्को मोढो मक्कणो व्याथितो गर्भिणी धेनुका हस्तिनी चाग्राह्याः ॥ कZ_०२.३१.१० ॥
vikko moḍho makkaṇo vyāthito garbhiṇī dhenukā hastinī cāgrāhyāḥ
Ang vikka, ang moḍha, ang makkaṇa, ang sugatan/may sakit, at gayundin ang buntis, nagpapasuso, o babaeng elepante (cow‑elephant) ay hindi dapat tanggapin (para sa paglilingkod sa estado).
To prevent the state from acquiring high-risk or low-readiness assets (unfit temperaments/conditions, injury, pregnancy/lactation) that reduce operational reliability and increase maintenance costs.
They are medically vulnerable and less deployable; acquisition would impose ethical and logistical burdens while reducing combat/transport readiness.
