Englishśivā-vidyā, ‘jackal-science’, divination from cries of jackals: aṅgavidyā vā vastra-(read vastu-, see Pali below) vidyā vā śi° vā śakunividyā vā tvayādhītā Divy 〔630.22〕
cf. Pali DN 〔i.9.7〕 aṅga-vijjā vatthu-v° khatta-(v.l. khetta-) v° siva-v° … sakuṇa-v°
comm. 〔i.93.19〕 sivavijjā ti susāne parivasitvā santikaraṇavijjā
sigālarūtavijjā ti pi vadanti (Divy proves the latter right, with its śivā
śiva, m., also jackal in Skt., tho rarer).
