Vedic Reference
English
Sālā-vṛka is found twice in the Rigveda^1 apparently denoting
the ‘hyæna’ or ‘wild dog.’ This sense also seems appropriate
in the later narrative of the destruction of the Yatis by Indra, ^2
who is said to have handed them over to the Sālāvṛkas. Sālā-
vṛkeya^3 is a variant form of the same word, meaning literally
‘descendant of a Sālāvṛka.’ The feminine is Sālāvṛkī, ^4 but in
the Taittirīya Saṃhitā^5 it appears as Salāvṛkī. Cf. Tarakṣu.
