⁵⁸⁵ Cf. Su.Sū.46.105. P. Rāy and H.N. Gupta (1965): Anthropoides virgo, the demoiselle crane. P.V. Sharma: demoiselle crane. Gulabkunverba: idem. R.K. Sharma and Bhagwan Dash: idem. See on Anthropoides virgo (Linnaeus), the demoiselle crane: S. Ali and S.D. Ripley 2, 146–148. K.N. Dave (1985: X, 314–315, 418) regards the Eastern common crane and the demoiselle crane as the krauñca. See on Grus grus lilfordi Sharpe, the Eastern common crane: S. Ali and S.D. Ripley 2, 136–138. The open V-formation of the flight of these cranes was the model for the krauñcavyūha of Indian military science (K.N. Dave, 1985: X).
