                         Kavari in Tirukkuṟaḷ and Sangam Texts:
                     Dravidian word for Gauṛ bison and Tibetan yak
                    Dr. Nagamanickam Ganesan, Houston, Texas, USA

 Abstract: In Tolkāppiyam, solitary male mammals of the forest are listed in sūtra, Tol. marapiyal 37. Solitaires, called "oruttal", are those of deer, tiger, blackbuck, Nilgai antelope and gaur-buffalo roaming the forest alone in their peak of adolescence. In addition, crocodiles are included. For the wild bison (Gauṛ) and domestic buffalo, Tolkāppiyam gives the name, "kavari". Ancient Indians named Tibetan yak also as "kavari" because of its resemblances with Gauṛ bison. Sangam texts such as Puṟanāṉūṟu and Patiṟṟuppattu mention kavari, the Tibetan yak as well as aṉṉam, which are migratory geese superbirds crossing the mighty Himalayas twice annually to reach South India and return. Tirukkuṟaḷ 969 states that just as yak will die in the frigid weather of the Himalayas if it loses the thick fur coat, people will not survive if they lose honor in Life. Indologists remark that kavari 'yak' and related camari 'yak's tail, used as fan' do not have a clear etymology yet. This paper proposes a Dravidian source for these words derivable from kōṭu and its transformed form, kavaṭi (DEDR 1325 and 2200). Both kōṭu and kavaṭi have meanings, such as the branch of a tree, forked junction and horns of the cattle. Tribal people speaking non-literary Dravidian languages still wear the horns of the wild buffalo, and in ancient Indus Valley, deities are depicted with these horns. Several parallel examples are given to illustrate the transformation from -ṭ- into –r- as occurred in kavaṭi > kavari. Finally, Gaurī, female Gauṛa bison in Rgveda and wife of Varuṇa, is shown to be from Dravidian kavaṭi. 

This is a paper published in the Proceedings of the International Conference on Thirukkural, Nagarcoil, 2017. The conference was organized by the Institute of Asian Studies, Chennai.
