Vedic Reference

English

 Urā as a name for ‘sheep’ is confined to the Rigveda.^1 It
is curious that in one of its two occurrences the wolf should be
referred to as terrifying sheep,  and that the epithet of the wolf, 
urā-mathi,  ‘killing sheep, ’ should occur once in the Rigveda, ^2
both references being in one book of the Saṃhitā,  a fact
which suggests a dialectical origin of the word urā. See
also Avi.
1) viii. 34,  3.
2) viii. 66,  8. Cf. Nirukta,  v. 21.
