Dear Péter,
both words seem to be attested by Indian lexicographers only. As to
depictions: Alexandra van der Geer, "Animals in Stone. Indian Mammals
Sculptured Through Time", Leiden 2008, p. 427, mentions that the
stripped hyena is totally absent from stone sculpture. So, I would be
very interested too in any descriptions or depictions of this
conspicuous scavenger.
With best wishes
Martin

Zitat von Péter Száler via INDOLOGY <[email protected]>:
Dear List members,
Can anyone point me to sources that describe hyenas (tarakṣu) in detail or
contain the word yuyukkhura/kṣudravyāghra? Are there any studies about the
depictions of striped hyenas?
Kind regards,
Péter Száler
