With all due caution, we suggest that there may be a native etymology of this word (perhaps a loan word folk-etymologized) that alludes to a key characteristic (the so-called jackal's horn).

The article discusses the Indo-European word for 'male animal', which sometimes appears with an initial *u- and sometimes without: Sanskrit (v)rsabha- ‘bull’, vrsan- 'male', Avestan aršan- ‘male’, varšna- ‘manly’, Armenian arn ‘ram’, Greek αρσην, αρρην, ερσην 'male', Latin verrēs ‘boar’, Lithuanian veršis ‘(male) calf; bull, ox’. There existed a Proto-Indo-European determinative compound *gw(e)h3ursēn 'bull' (Tocharian A kayurs ‘bull’, B kaurse ‘bull’, Old Norse kursi, kussi ‘bull calf’) < *gw(e)h3-u- 'cow' + *ursēn 'male'. The compound was reanalyzed by the speakers as containing a second part *-rsēn, which became the basis for the Indo-European forms without initial *u-.

""The purpose of this article is to show that the variety and irregularity of the Indo-European 'crane' words is apparent rather than actual, and that their derivational history is in fact quite simple. In brief, they can be reduced to only a couple of related PIE lexemes, rather than a whole constellation of 'dialectal' forms. http://hdl.handle.net/10593/2391 http://www2.filg.uj.edu.pl/ifo/kjasis/sec/store/sec-18.pdf

On Loki, see also: https://academia.edu/113916063/ . A series of parallels in the narrative structure, the ritual associations and the phraseology of the Norse myth of Brokk and the Sanskrit myth of Bhr̥gu allow for the assumption of a direct connection between these characters and call for a common etymology for both their names as reflexes of the same Proto-Indo-European (PIE) root *(s)bʰr̥(h₂)g- ‘crackle, roar’. Old Norse (ON) Brokkr is the name of a mythical dwarf-smith who wins the head of the Norse fire-god Loki in a wager in the Skáldskaparmál (35), while Sanskrit (Skt.) Bhr̥gu- is the name of a seer who curses the Indian fire-god Agni to be sarvabhakṣa- ‘all-eating, all-devouring’ in the Mahābhārata (1.5–7; 9.46.12–20). Skt. Bhr̥gu- can hardly be kept apart from Vedic (Ved.) Bhŕ̥gu-, the name of a class of mythical beings who are constantly associated with fire in the Rigveda (RV). ON Brokkr and Ved. Bhŕ̥gu-, Skt. Bhr̥gu- may be traced back to *bʰr̥g-nó- (originally *bʰr̥h₂g-nó-) ‘crackling, roaring’ and *bʰŕ̥g-oṷ-/bʰr̥g-ṷ-´ ‘id.’ (originally *bʰŕ̥h₂g-oṷ-/bʰr̥h₂g-ṷ-´), respectively. These are derivatives of one and the same root, namely *bʰr̥(h₂)g- ‘crackle, roar’, which I interpret as the variant without s-mobile of the PIE root *spʰr̥h₂g- ‘crackle, roar’. The reconstruction of two derivatives, in -nó- (ON Brokkr) and in -u- (Ved. Bhŕ̥gu-), both meaning ‘crackling, roaring’, fits into the pattern of the Caland system which may be assumed for PIE *(s)bʰr̥(h₂)g- ‘crackle, roar’. Reflexes of *bʰr̥(h₂)g- and of *spʰr̥h₂g- allow to state further semantic and formal matches: - Gk. βαρυσφάραγος ‘with heavy roar’ and Ved. giribhráj- ‘heavy-roaring’ (collocation [HEAVY (*gʷerh₂-) – ROAR (*(s)bʰr̥(h₂)g-)]); - Gk. ἀνεμοσφάραγος ‘with roar of wind(s)’ and Ved. vā́tabhrajas- ‘with roaring of wind(s)’ (collocation [WIND – ROAR (*(s)bʰr̥(h₂)g-)]); - Hom. σφαραγέομαι ‘crackle, sizzle’, Ved. sphūrjáyant- ‘crackling, sizzling’ and bhūrjáyant- ‘id.’ (PIE *(s)bʰr̥h₂g-éi̯e- ‘crackle, sizzle’). This analysis finds support in the semantic associations of these characters and of the PIE root. ON Brokkr, Ved. Bhŕ̥gu- and the reflexes of PIE *(s)bʰr̥(h₂)g- ‘crackle, roar’ (such as Gk. σφαραγέομαι and Ved. sphūrjáyant-) seem to share an association with [FIRE], as shown by mythology, phraseology and ritual. Also, ON Brokkr and derivatives of PIE *(s)bʰr̥(h₂)g- (such as Gk. βαρυσφάραγος and Ved. vā́tabhrajas-) seem to share an association with [THUNDER], which, however, seems to be lacking for Ved. Bhŕ̥gu-.

This paper examines the absence of geminate -rr- in Sanskrit and argues that the synchronic ban on this sequence (evinced by the facts of the Vedic sandhi) results from continued high ranking of an Obligatory Contour Principle constraint against heteromorphemic geminates (inherited from PIE) combined with the substrate influence of Dravidian languages in which the rhotics are non-geminable. New -rr- sequences that arose in Proto-Indo-Iranian and Proto-Indo-Aryan from PIE *-LL- or *-LHL- after loss of the laryngeal and merger of *l with the rhotic were repaired through degemination. This hypothesis predicts a development of PIE *(-)CL̥HLV- to Sanskrit (-)Cī/ūrV- which has not been previously recognized in the treatments of Indic historical phonology. This development is arguably found in mūrá- ‘stupid’ < *mūrra- < *mr̥H-lo- (cf. Hitt. marlant- ‘stupid’), ūrú- ‘thigh’ < *u̯ūrru- < *(H)u̯l̥H-Lu- ← *(H)u̯l̥H-Lo- (cf. Hitt. walla- ‘thigh’), śīrá- ‘fervent’ < *śīrrá- < *k̑l̥H-Ló- (cf. śrā́ya- ‘be fervent’), and perhaps in several other examples.

Ancient etyma of Meluhha related to the following words which signify hieroglyphs; the words evolve into baṟḍ̠ẖai 'boar' with variant pronunciations: varāhá -- , varāˊhu -- m. ʻ wild boar ʼ RV.Pa. Pk. varāha -- m. ʻ boar ʼ; A. B. barā ʻ boar ʼ (A. also ʻ sow, pig ʼ), Or. barāha, (Sambhalpur) barhā, (other dial.) bā̆rihā, bāriā, H. bā̆rāh m., Si. varā. varāhamūla n. ʻ name of a place in Kashmir ʼ Rājat. [varāhá -- , mūˊla -- ?]K. warahmul ʻ a town at west end of the valley of Kashmir ʼ.(CDIAL 11325, 11326). ବଢ଼ଇ— Baṟḍ̠ẖai 'carpenter' (Oriya) vaḍlangi, baḍaga 'artificers' (Telugu.Kannada) vāḍhī 'merchant' (Gujarati) This etymological excursus is an excellent example of the differentiations in pronunciations in various languages of Indian sprachbund, 'language union'. Thus, the essential semantic unity of Indian languages is reinforced. Sign 123 Rebus: badhi ‘worker in iron and wood’ Anthropomorph. Sarasvati Civilization. Boar atop ram with one-horned young bull and spread-legs hieroglyphs On one anthropomorph, an over-written Brahmi inscription is found and deciphered.

Thus, the young single-horned bull calf signifies kndar, 'turner' of fine and ornament gold. Varaha, Khajuraho. Hieroglyph: चषाल n. the snout of a boar or hog MaitrS. i , 6 , 3. Rebus: चषाल mn.

Citragupta (चित्रगुप्त) is the name of a deity representing the secretary of the divinities, according to the Kathāsaritsāgara, chapter 72. Citragupta (Sanskrit: चित्रगुप्त, 'rich in secrets' or 'hidden picture') is a Hindu divinity assigned with the task of keeping complete records of actions of human beings on the earth. That the varāha temple is called Citragupta temple is significant. Citragupta is the divine accountant who maintains wealth accounting ledgers of a nation.

R̥gveda ākhyāna of śyena by Gautama, son of Rāhugaṇa who migrated to Karatoya, Ganga-Brahmaputra basin. Soma and the Eagle (Agni as śyena 'thunderbolt' ) -- Maurice Bloomfield (1892) https://tinyurl.com/ycpf85x2 The devatā of r̥ca RV 4.26.4-7 is śyena (suparṇātmā brahma) and of r̥ca RV 4.27.1-5 is śyena. In some r̥ca-s of the two sukta-s, Indra and ātmā are the devatā. Bloomfield tries to show that gāyatri, the eagle, is the sacerdotal name of Agni, the heavenly Agni (the lightning) who is the eagle. (See embedded: Contributions to the Interpretation of the Veda Maurice Bloomfield in: Journal of the American Oriental Society Vol. 16 (1896), pp. 1-42 Published by: American Oriental Society DOI: 10.2307/592485 Stable URL: http://www.jstor.org/stable/592485). This opinion of Bloomfield is consistent with the semantics: aśani ‘thunderbolt’ cognate śyena ‘falcon’, sena ‘thunderbolt’. The semantics of aśani ‘thunderbolt’ leads to the expression āhangar ‘blacksmith’. (Pashto. Kashmiri) Bloomfield also notes that divah śyena is a reference to Agni and that Agni is frequently spoken of as a bird (e.g., RV I.164.52). Thus, ‘the descent of the lightning is viewed as the cause of the descent of the ambrosial fluid, the Soma. VS VI.34: somo rājā ‘mr̥tam sutah‘king Soma when pressed becomes amr̥ta’. This means that the Soma (amsu) is guarded by the metallic iron castles. (A clear intimation of Soma as a reference to metal or mineral). The adjective somabhr̥t repeatedly used in Yajus-samhita and the Brahmana-s is a standing epithet of the eagle: ‘he who brings the soma’. Griffith: RV VI.20.6: 6 As the Hawk rent for him the stalk that gladdens, he wrenched the head from Namuci the Dasa. He guarded Nam, Sayyas' son, in slumber, and sated him with food, success, and riches. Sayana/Wilson: RV 6.020.06 And the hawk bore to Indra the exhilarating Soma, when, bruising the head of the oppressor Namuci, and protecting the slumbering Nami, the son of Sapya, he provided, for the weeell-being (of the sage), riches and food. Bloomfield translates this as: “churning for him the head of the demon Namuci, as did the eagle the intoxicating plant (from the cloud, or the heavens.)”

Shrigala means something in Buddhism , Pali, Hinduism , Sanskrit, the history of ancient India, Marathi, biology. If you want to know the exact meaning, history, etymology or English translation of this term then check out the descriptions on this page. Add your comment or reference to a book if you want to contribute to this summary article.
The Sanskrit terms Śṛgāla and Sṛgāla can be transliterated into English as Srgala or Shrigala or Srigala, using the IAST transliteration scheme (?) .
Ayurveda (science of life), veterinary medicine (the study and treatment of animals).
Sṛgāla (सृगाल) refers to the Golden Jackal ( Canis aureus ), according to scientific texts such as the Mṛgapakṣiśāstra (Mriga-pakshi-shastra) or “the ancient Indian science of animals and birds” by Hamsadeva, containing the varieties and descriptions of the animals and birds seen in the Sanskrit Epics such as the Ramayana and Mahabharata.
Śṛgāla (शृगाल)—Sanskrit word for the animal “jackal”. This animal is from the group called Guhāśaya (‘which have a lair’, or, ‘cave-dwelling mammals’). Guhāśaya itself is a sub-group of the group of animals known as Jāṅghala (living in high ground and in a jungle).
Āyurveda (आयुर्वेद, ayurveda) is a branch of Indian science dealing with medicine, herbalism, taxology, anatomy, surgery, alchemy and related topics. Traditional practice of Āyurveda in ancient India dates back to at least the first millenium BC. Literature is commonly written in Sanskrit using various poetic metres.
Śṛgāla (शृगाल).—A King of the "Strī rājya". This king had attended the Svayaṃvara of the daughter of Citrāṅgada, king of Kaliṅga. (Mahābhārata, Śānti Parva, Chapter 4, Verse 7)
Sṛgāla (सृगाल) refers to “jackals”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.15 (“The penance and reign of Tārakāsura”).—Accordingly, as Brahmā narrated: “[...] At the same time, several phenomena of evil portent forboding misery and distress happened, when the son of Varāṅgī was born making the gods miserable. [...] Within villages, inauspicious vixens howled hideously vomitting fires; as it were, through their mouths along with the hissing and twanging sounds of the hootings and howlings of owls and jackals [i.e., sṛgāla-ulūka-ṭaṅkāra ]. Lifting up their necks, the dogs barked in diverse ways producing sounds of singing or lamenting here and there. [...]”.

These animals [viz., Śṛgāla] are chiefly mentioned in the Manusmṛti, Parāśarasmṛti [Chap.6], Gautamasmṛti [17.2 and 15.1], Śātātapasmṛti [II.45-54], Uśānasmṛti [IX.7-9; IX.12-13], Yājñavalkyasmṛti [I.170-171; I.175; I.258- 260], Viṣṇusmṛti [51.3;51.6;51.26;51.33;80.3-14], Uttarāṅgirasasmṛti [X.15-17], Prajāpatismṛti [Śrāddhatyājyavastuvarṇanam. 138-143], 9 Kāśyapasmṛti [Section on Prāyaścittavarṇanam], Vṛddha Hārītasmṛti [6.253-255] and Kātyāyanasmṛti [27.11].

If they have deceived honest people ( sajjanāvamāna ), they take the body of [for example], a jackal ( śṛgāla ).

A Cunning Jackal
Once a jackal was wandering in search of food. It strayed into a town. It saw a dyer’s pot full of blue dye. It slipped into it. As it jumped out of the pot, it was dyed blue. It was a cunning jackal. It decided to make the best of this happening.
He went to the jungle and said to his friends, “I am your blue king. God has sent me to rule over you. If you obey me, you will enjoy all comforts of life.”
But some animals did not obey his elders. They held a meeting. As the meeting was going on, one of the jackal began to how1. The blue jackal also howled. Now the other jackals came to know that blue king was one of their brethren like them. All of them killed him.
Moral: over cleverness is dangerous or one cannot deceive all the people for all the time.

This and many similar narratives are found in the PanÅcatantra, the collection of Sanskrit tales for children compiled by a Jaina monk named Puμrn|abhadra in 1199 CE. In this book, McComas Taylor looks at the discourses that give shape and structure to the fall of the indigo jackal and the other tales within the PanÅcatantra.
The jackal succeeds in fomenting mistrust between the friends and provoking a battle in which the lion kills the bull. However, the jackal's view of this odd friendship as undesirable is undermined by another jackal who lectures the lion on his folly in having listened to an evil advisor and destroyed a faithful friend. The lion repents too late.
There was once a jungle that was ruled by a lion called Madotkata, who had a leopard, a jackal and a crow at his service, along with other animals. As they did regularly, they were wandering about the jungle one day, when the lion saw a camel at a distance.
