Beveridge) 932.8.7 - **Language:** English ### [932.8.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.932.8.7) The wild-buffalo\[1749\] is another. It is much larger than the (domestic) buffalo and its horns do not turn back in the same way.\[1750\] It is a mightily destructive and ferocious animal. The \_nīla-gāū\_ (blue-bull)\[1751\] is another. It may stand as high as a horse but is somewhat lighter in build. The male is bluish-gray, hence, seemingly, people call it nīla-gāū. It has two rather small horns. On its throat is a tuft of hair, nine inches long; (in this) it resembles the yak.\[1752\] Its hoof is cleft (\_aīrī\_) like the hoof of cattle. The doe is of the colour of the \_būghū-marāl\_\[1753\]; she, for her part, has no horns and is plumper than the male. - [Previous: 932.8.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.932.8.6) - [Next: 932.9.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.932.9.1) - [Up: 932.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.932.8) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.932.8.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.932.8.7) · Pramāṇa
