Overall, I think Madhav’s suggestion that jagri is a vernacularized form of yak.rt, (re)borrowed into Sanskrit, makes the best sense. Hindi-Urdu jigar, by contrast, is most likely one of the many Persian words that came into the language during the extended period of Persianate Muslim rule

Best wishes

Shouldn’t that be yak.rt?

Some interesting connections of the Persian word jigar to Sanskrit word taker for liver.
