羯闌鐸迦(下音薑佉反舊名迦闌陀亦云迦闌鐸迦皆梵語訛轉也本云羯嬾馱迦此云好聲鳥謂王舍城側有大竹林此鳥棲止多在其林因以名焉)。
羯闌鐸迦 (the last character is ji[āng] + qi[ā] fanqie; formerly named 迦闌陀 and also 迦闌鐸迦, all being corrupt Sanskrit sound-changes. Originally it is kalandaka, which translates as "sweet-voiced bird," meaning that beside Rājagṛha there is a great bamboo grove where this bird mostly perches and dwells, and it was named after it accordingly).
