Avi. — ‘Sheep’ are repeatedly mentioned in the Rigveda, and

later, often in conjunction with goats (aja). The wolf (vṛka)

was their great enemy,¹ and they were tended by shepherds.²

Sheep as well as kine were captured from the enemy.³ The

Soma sieve was made of sheep's wool, and is repeatedly

referred to (avi, meṣī, avya, avyaya).⁴ Considerable herds

must have existed, as Ṛjrāśva is said⁵ to have slain one

hundred rams, and in a Dānastuti (‘Praise of Gifts’)⁶ a hundred

sheep are mentioned as a gift. The (meṣa,⁷ vṛṣṇi⁸ ) ram was

sometimes castrated (petva).⁹ The main use of sheep was their

wool; hence the expression ‘woolly’ (ūrṇāvatī)¹⁰ is employed to

designate a sheep. In the Vājasaneyi Saṃhitā¹¹ the ram is

described as ‘woolly,’ and as ‘the skin of beasts, quadruped and

biped,’ with reference to the use of its wool as clothing for men

and shelter for animals. Pūṣan is said¹² to weave raiment from

the wool of sheep. Normally the sheep stayed out at pasture;

in an obscure passage of the Rigveda¹³ reference appears to be

made to rams in stall. Gandhāra¹⁴ ewes were famous for their

wool. Pischel¹⁵ considers that the Paruṣṇī¹⁶ was named from

its richness in sheep, parus¹⁷ denoting the ‘flocks’ of wool. [Footnote] 1) Av. v. 8, 4; Rv. viii. 34, 3; 66, 8. [Footnote] 2) Avi-pāla, Vājasaneyi Saṃhitā, xxx.
