651 Cf. A.s.Sū.7.69 (vāraṭa). Absent from Su.Sū.46, but compare Suśruta's śvetavāraṭa (Sū. 46.105). P. Rāy and H.N. Gupta seem to read varapada, identified as *Platela leucorodia*, the spoon-bill. Gulabkunverba: spoon bill. R.K. Sharma and Bhagwan Dash: idem. See on *Platalea leucorodia* major (Temminck et Schlegel), the spoonbill: S. Ali and S.D. Ripley 1, 116–118. K.N. Dave (1985: 325, 329–330) regards the Bengal florican as the vāraṭa or vāraḍa. See on *Eupodotis bengalensis bengalensis* (Gmelin), the Bengal florican: S. Ali and S.D. Ripley 2, 194–195; R.E. Hawkins (1986): 84.
