He had three attendants, the driver and two subordinates.

The driver remained in camp, while the two attendants took the elephant to a field of sugar-cane, to bring home a supply of the cane for his fodder for the day.

A third subordinate had gone on to cut the cane and bind it into bundles.

One of the two was on the neck of the elephant, and another walking by the side, holding one of the elephant's teeth in his left hand all the way to the field, and he seemed very quiet.

The third attendant brought the bundles, and the second handed them up to the first on the back to be stowed away.
