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").
