My tip:
vekurañjāya (v.l. kuṇḍaṃ) hi so, bho Gotama, assataro hoti.
May be it is a mule?
This kind of horse (assatara) is probably also called a "bastard;
a son born in adultery" (=kuṇḍa).

Dear List,
I am working on a translation of the Pali Assalayana-sutta into Polish.
And - the problem, with the term vekurañja. It appears in the text only once, meaning - according to the context - possibly 'hybrid; crossbreed'. But - I would like to be sure. The term is missing from Rhys-Davids and Stede's dictionary, nor is it to be found (in some Sanskrit form) in the Monier-Williams' dictionary.
Any tips - please?
With anti-pandemic greetings,
Artur Karp
