Sarama

Saramā is the name of a female dog (bitch) belonging to Indra and the other devas in early Hinduism's Vedic mythology. She is mentioned in Rigveda 10.14.10 as the mother of the four-eyed brindled dogs of Yama. She is said to have gone in search of cattle, stolen and hidden in the Vala by an evil people called , as described in Rigveda 10.108, a part of which she (with the title of devashunī, ie., divine bitch) is also said to be the authoress of. In general, Saramā also came to mean any female dog or bitch. It is interesting to note here that like the early Iranian people, the early Indo-Aryans also, in some form, respected the dog. Whereas in later Hinduism, the dog became one of the most degraded animal.

[Hindu] The Hindu dog of Indra.

Sarama (Sanskrit) [from the verbal root sri to run] the fleet one, the runner; the dog belonging to Indra and the gods, the divine watcher "over the golden flock of stars and solar rays." She is the mother of the two dogs called Sarameyas. Some European etymologists connect the names of the Greek Hermes and Helena with Sarama or Sarameya. Sarama has certain elements of mystical similarity to Agathodaemon in Greek Gnosticism, and to the Egyptian Hermes-Anubis, one of the dogs (vigilance) which watch over the celestial flock (occult wisdom and its students) (cf SD 2:28).
