Overall, I am not sure. In an article that I will share with the list when it’s done, I think I demonstrate quite conclusively a west Semitic, probably Arabic, input in a 10th c Sanskrit text from Kashmir, with which there was some intertextuality with the KCT. But of course I do not ask that you accept my arguments until you have seen them.
best,

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

It is indeed!
Shouldn’t that be yak.rt?
