Megasthenes (Fragm. XII), along with Aelian and Strabo, speaks of hunting lions with dogs. Kauṭilya also refers to hunters going about the forests with their packs of hounds (*Śvagaṇinaḥ*) and also to the hunting of tigers with dogs (IV. 3). In I. 14, Kauṭilya refers to keepers of dogs fed by the milk of their cows (*Śvagaṇināṁ dhenuḥ*).
