However, there are other words that also refer to cats in Sanskrit, including:
* "मार्जार" (mārjāra): This word is often used in a more formal or literary context.
* "कुप्फा" (kupphā): This word refers to a particular breed of cat, often translated as "wild cat".
* "मृग" (mṛga): This word can refer to "animal" in general, but it can also specifically refer to cats, particularly in certain contexts.
The most commonly used word for "cat" in modern Sanskrit is "बिडाल" (bidala).
