A 'koyaṣṭi' is the krauñca. A 'plava' is a water-fowl. A 'cakrāhva' is the ruddy shelduck. The heron and egret are well known. 'Scratching birds' (*viṣkira*), because they scatter with their claws and eat, are taken to mean partridges and the like, since quail, peafowl, and the like are edible, and the domestic fowl is prohibited simply because it is a village-dweller. One should avoid these, the pond heron and the rest. 'In vain', that is, prepared without reference to a deity or the like; one should avoid rice-sesame porridge, fried barley pastry, milk rice, cakes, and pastry fried in oil. 'Kṛsara' is boiled rice prepared with sesame and mung bean. 'Saṃyāva' is a specific cooked dish called utkarikā made with milk, jaggery, clarified butter, and so on. 'Pāyasa' is rice cooked with milk. 'Apūpa' is a wheat preparation cooked without fat. 'Śaṣkulī' is a wheat preparation cooked in fat. Although the prohibition of kṛsara and the rest is established by 'One should not cook food for oneself' (YDh 1.104), this restatement is for the purpose of indicating the gravity of the penance. || 1.173
