Kohaliya 2.5: Bṛhaddeśī

2.5

ṣaḍjaṃ vadati mayūra ṛṣabhaṃ cātako vadet | ajā vadanti gāndhāraṃ krauñco vadati madhyamam | puṣpasādhāraṇe kāle kokilaḥ pañcamaṃ vadet | prāvṛṭkāle tu samprāpte dhaivataṃ durduro vadet | sarvadā ca tathā devi niṣādaṃ vadate gajaḥ

The peacock sings ṣaḍja, the cātaka bird ṛṣabha, goats sing gāndhāra, the crane madhyama; in the season common to flowers the cuckoo sings pañcama; when the rainy season has come the frog sings dhaivata; and always, O Goddess, the elephant sings niṣāda.
