Ca.Sū.27.35. 567 Cf. Ca.Sū.27.35. 568 Cf. Ca.Sū.27.35. P. Rāy et al. (1980): Hyaena striata. 569 Cf. Ca.Sū.27.35. P. Rāy et al. (1980): Melursus ursinus. 570 Cf. Ca.Sū.27.35. 571 Cf. Ca.Sū.27.35. P. Rāy et al. (1980): Felis caracal. See on Felis caracal schmitzi Matschie, the Indian subspecies of the caracal: F. Finn (1929): 95–96; S.H. Prater (1971): 77–78; WIRM X, 246. It is not clear at all why P. Rāy et al. selected this species of Felis as Suśruta's mārjāra. The jungle cat, Felis chaus Güldenstädt (see F. Finn, 1929: 93–94; S.H. Prater, 1971: 75–76; WIRM X, 246), for example, would be as suitable a candidate. 572 Cf. Ca.Sū.27.36 (jambuka). 573 Absent from the Carakasamhitā, A.h. and A.s. P. Rāy et al. (1980): a jackal-like animal feeding on deer. This may be Cuon alpinus (Pallas), the dhole or Indian wild dog. See on this animal: R.W. Burton (1939); F. Finn (1929): 119–120; R.E. Hawkins (1986): 177–178; S.H. Prater (1971): 130–131; WIRM III, 100. 574 Cf. Ca.Sū.27.36 (vāyasa). P. Rāy et al. (1980): Corvus splendens, the crow.
