Urabhra (उरभ्र)—Sanskrit word for the animal “sheep”. This animal is from the group called Grāmya (‘domestic animals’). Grāmya itself is a sub-group of the group of animals known as Jāṅghala (living in high ground and in a jungle).

The flesh of sheep (mutton) is constructive, tonic and heavy, and generates the Pittam and Kapham.
