Cats!!!!!!!!
Let's learn about cats today.
Well, frankly speaking I prefer dogs(कुक्कुराः)(kukkurAh) because I find them loyal but cats..well they are not as responsive as dogs.
What do you call a cat in Sanskrit?
Well there are a few words but today I will just focus on two words for cat.
मार्जारः (mArjAraH)
मार्जालः (mArjAlaH)
Now both these words have a logical basis.
Well as we know, a cat likes to lick itself clean.
This act of licking itself clean is akin to sweeping one's self clean.
Sweeping in Sanskrit is called मार्जनम्(mArjanaM) hence a cat is called मार्जारः (mArjAraH) and मार्जालः (mArjAlaH) because it "sweeps" itself clean.
