It is very surprising to know that Dog has more than 20 names in Sanskrit! To be frank, I also did not know about them, and came to know only when I thought of creating this post.

Many of them are based on the unique qualities that this ‘best friend of man’ possesses. You will be surprised to know the literal meaning of these names.

Some of course have their etymological origin as the words have in any language.

I have tried to provide the literal meaning of some of these names too but I could not get all the meanings. I have also provided the transliteration in English language so that people who can’t read or understand Devnagiri script could easily know these Sanskrit names of a dog.

Learning Sanskrit letters through English

This will sound very interesting to you if you are not from India and want to learn how to write Devnagri script, which is used in Sanskrit, Hindi and Marathi language.

I have tried to explain it through English letters and hope you will find it interesting and easy.

This guide is about consonant क

If you know the transliteration scheme used for Sanskrit, its pronunciation is from the 1st position of the mouth. It is represented as [Ka] when used in full form.

Sanskrit Letter क

As you can see from the picture, you need rotate ‘S’ letter to 90 degree and join it with ‘T’. With this simple process, you can write the क consonant of Devnagri script.

This will be very helpful for people who live outside India and don’t have any exposure to Devnagiri script but want to learn Sanskrit, Hindi or Marathi language.

If you have any suggestion, feedback or question regarding the structure or usage of this letter, you can write to us through the comment section.
