"P.S.: Is Viagra from the Vedic vyaaghra (Pali: vyagga), meaning 'tiger'?"

Quite possible - you are not the first who asked (I checked on the web).

But the etymology of commercial minds is tricky, even compared to etymology in general.

I think there was a time, when Sanskrit studies in the West were something new, when many thought Sanskrit to be the original Indo-European language; but then they found Hittite, and thought it to be Indo-European as well, and even older.

But language is older than writing, and archeology is not a good tool for linguistics, so I suppose all such theories contain a lot of guesswork.
