In Jainism
Jain philosophy
: archive.org: Anekanta Jaya Pataka of Haribhadra SuriKakka (कक्क) or Kakkī (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 �īԾṇaṃv� (p. 48) has suggested that the word �kalki� may be a Sanskritized form of 첹ī, kakka the Pāiya (Prākṛta) word meaning a white horse.—Cf. Karka.
