鴝𩿦羅鳥(梵語印度國鳥名也或云俱翅羅或云俱耆羅皆梵語輕重也涅盤經云此鳥聲好從聲立名本性愛榮不栖止於枯樹)。

鴝𩿦羅鳥 (Sanskrit; the name of a bird in India. It is also called jùchìluó or jùqíluó; these are all light and heavy pronunciations in Sanskrit [kokila, cuckoo]. The Nirvāṇa-sūtra says: "This bird has a beautiful call, and its name is established from its sound. By nature it loves lush growth and does not roost in withered trees").
