Lassoing [слонов] by men on foot was obviously extremely hazardous; some people, like the pannikians, a Muslim sect in Sri Lanka, made it their speciality.

“Noosing is one of the earliest methods of elephant capture,” according to Jayewardene (1994c). Noose capturing from on foot is still conducted by a people called ‘Pannikan’ (spelled variously Pannikar, Pannickar, Pannikea, etc.). Originally the term ‘Pannikan’ was applied solely to a particular group of Muslims, often described as descendants of Arab seamen, from northeastern Sri Lanka, but for some years ‘Pannikan’ has commonly been used generically to refer to anybody who captures elephants by noosing

Pannikans and the Traditional Technology of Elephant Management

Those who use traditional methods to capture elephants are distinguished as Pannikans, a "title conferred on anyone of outstanding courage and prowess in a form of physical activity such as noosing of elephants". Most Pannikans are rice cultivators and elephant capture serves as seasonal work to supplement their agricultural income. At present, the practice is nearly extinct due to strict government bans on elephant capture.

In Sri Lanka, several variations of the noosing technique are associated with the Pannikans or 'Moors' of the Moorish villages in the north and north-east ...
