拘翅(施豉反或作俱耆羅鳥梵言訛耳此鳥聲好形醜從聲為名也經文作[(概-木+彳)-旡+丸]𪅌二形非也)。

Kokila [cuckoo] (拘翅, [翅 is] *shi* + *chi* fan; also written 俱耆罗 bird; it is a Sanskrit word slightly corrupted; this bird has a pleasant cry but an ugly form, and takes its name from its call. In the sūtra text it is written with two forms, [(概-木+彳)-旡+丸] and 𪅌, both of which are incorrect).
