Animal in India's national emblem (4)

lion

(Other definitions for lion that I've seen before include "Buddhist scripture; Sanskrit rule" , "King of sorts" , "Cowardly visitor in Oz" , "The -, the Witch and the Wardrobe" , "Sought after celebrity (showing great strength and courage?)" .)

I've seen this clue in the USA Today.
