Vedic Reference
English
Kuṇḍṛṇācī is the name of an animal of unknown character
occurring in the lists of victims at the horse sacrifice (Aśva-
medha) in the Yajurveda Saṃhitās.^1 The word also occurs in
one passage of the Rigveda, ^2 in which a bird would seem to be
intended, though Sāyaṇa interprets it as meaning ‘with
crooked flight’ (kuṭila-gatyā). In his commentary on the
Taittirīya Saṃhitā^3 he takes the word to denote the house-
lizard (gṛha-godhikā).
