Vedic Reference
EnglishKroṣṭṛ (lit. ‘howler’), the ‘jackal, ’ is mentioned in the
Rigveda^1 as by nature cowardly compared with the wild boar
(Varāha). In the Atharvaveda^2 it is spoken of as devouring
corpses. The word also occurs in the Vājasaneyi Saṃhitā, ^3
where the commentator glosses it with Sṛgāla, another name of
the jackal. See also Lopāśa.
