Kakkī (कक्की) or Kakka (both in Prakrit) is possibly related to Kalki (or Kalkin), who is looked upon as the tenth and the last incarnation of Viṣṇu. Kalki is said to have a white horse to ride upon. So Muni Kalyāṇavijaya in his “vīranirvāṇasaṃvat” (p. 48) has suggested that the word ‘kalki’ may be a Sanskritized form of kakkī, kakka the Pāiya (Prākṛta) word meaning a white horse.—Cf. Karka.
