[3rd variety of WOLVES]
(EHAMRIGA OR BUEGLES)
These kinds of wolves are of different colours. Some are spo-
tted and some are striped. They are very tall in size. They run very
swiftly like an arrow. They are always ferocious, and never listen to
good words. They have long faces, very long ears, protruding tongues
and hanging testicles. They are lean and have very lean stomachs.
Bad smell always comes out of their bodies. They are very fond of
hunting. Female ones resemble male ones in all respects. They are
easily captuarable and trainable in their early ages. Their qualities and
character would become good if they are kept in their early ages.
Owing to their mean nature and bad deeds, they are called Tamasa
Adhama or inferior in 3rd class.
[1st variety of DOGS]
(SWANAH)
Dogs of these kinds are tall and red in colour. They live in
villages. They are calm and quiet-going. They are a little impatient
when they are hungry. They eat mean and useless things lying on
streets. They always wander and sleep in shady places. At times, they
quarrel with each other. They have much passion for cohabitation.
Their rear portions, and stomachs are very stout, and they have long
tails, small and sharp ears. They have curved nails. They are sub-
missive and grateful to people. They are very beautiful when they
are young. They fear to wander during nights. They are not cruel.
