551 Cf. Su.Sū.46.74; see also Dalhaṇa ad Su.Sū.46.105. P. Rāy and H.N. Gupta (1965): *Pandion haliaetus*, the osprey. P.V. Sharma: the fish eagle. Gulabkunverba: idem. R.K. Sharma and Bhagwan Dash: idem. K.N. Dave (1985: 185–187): the osprey. See on *Pandion haliaetus* (Linnaeus), the osprey: S. Ali and S.D. Ripley 1, 336–338. The osprey and the fishing eagles are confused by many lexicographers (see K.N. Dave, 1985: 185). K.N. Dave (1985: 342) is of the opinion that the name *kurara* denotes either the gulls and terns or the demoiselle crane in the lists of Caraka and Suśruta.
