The *Kāśikā* illustrating Pāṇini VI. 2. 13 (*Gantavya-paṇyaṁ vāṇije*) particularly mentions merchants who dealt in cows, bulls (*go-vāṇija*) and horses (*aśva-vāṇija*). Pāṇini himself refers to the famous breed of bulls from the Sālva country, (IV.2.136) and to the breed of mares from beyond the Indus (*pāre-vaḍavā*, VI. 2. 42).
