A bird which lived on the opposite side of the Himālayas. The cry of this bird resembles "MĀ SĀHASA".¹ But this bird lived by pecking at and eating the flesh between the teeth of a lion. Śiśupāla mentioned this bird as an example to illustrate that Bhīṣma's advice was at variance with his practice. The bird exhorts people not to act in a rash way (Mā Sāhasa) and at the same time acts rashly. - [Previous: c4.2373](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c4.2373) - [Next: c4.2375](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c4.2375) - [Up: c4](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c4) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c4.2374](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c4.2374) · Pramāṇa
