Atharvaveda (Paippalāda)
Animal used in simile for frenzied maternal distress in the love-charm.
As a she-wolf whose cubs have been devoured, or a tigress, would become frenzied with distress — even so become frenzied, sent by my anxious longing.
Rigveda
Wolf to whom Ṛjrāśva gave rams, who calls out to the Aśvins urging aid for him.
She-wolf called out to you, O mighty Aśvins, O men, carrying welfare for the blind:
Ṛjrāśva, who had given a hundred rams to the she-wolf, was led into darkness by his wicked father.
Adversus Valentinianos
Animal used in simile for the heresy's shifting, adaptable character
For the rest, it has been permitted to give as much suasion to this heresy as it is customary for a she-wolf to put on a different shape every day.
