Jagranath And Sarlish

In Poul Anderson's "The Warriors from Nowhere," an alien called Sarlish is from the planet Jagranath, beyond the Terran Empire. "Jagranath" is an alien name but also a creation of Anderson's imagination so what might have influenced it? Hindus have a Lord Jagannath, whose name became the word "juggernaut." Another Hindu-sounding planetary name in the Technic History is Jihannath, discussed here.

Googling reveals that Sarlish is a Terrestrial surname. My motto has become: Google everything.
