    Ajina. — This word denotes generally the skin of an animal

    -e.g., a gazelle,1 as well as that of a goat (Aja).2 The use

    of skins as clothing is shown by the adjective ‘clothed in skins’

    (ajina-vāsin) in the Śatapatha Brāhmaṇa,3 and the furrier's trade

    is mentioned in the Vājasaneyi Saṃhitā.4 The Maruts also

    wear deer-skins,5 and the wild ascetics (muni) of a late Rigveda

    hymn6 seem to be clad in skins (Mala). [Footnote] 1) Av. v. 21, 7. [Footnote] 2) Śatapatha Brāhmaṇa, v. 2, 1, 21.
