vyAlaka
[ vyālaka , in Jm 165.17 acc. to Speyer elephant ; Speyer was misled by Skt. Lex. id. , rogue-elephant , which really means rogue , not primarily elephant . It could only mean either savage beast of some sort, or serpent , and in the Jm clearly the latter: khe toraṇa-vyālaka-vad babhāse, shone like a serpent on a toraṇa up in the air .]
