The piece that leaps 2 spaces vertically or horizontally? My conjecture is that this is the original Rook. The reason is that this piece fits naturally with the Gaja and Asva of Chaturanga, which leap to any space in the 2nd square perimeter. It also has the missing binding of the complete board of the Asva, 1/2 of the Mantri, and 1/8 of the Gaja.
