Ripley (1983) do not describe Coturnix montana. See on Ophrysia superciliosa (J.E. Gray), the mountain quail: S. Ali and S.D. Ripley 2, 73–74. 559 Cf. Ca.Sū.27.51 (laṭṭā). P. Rāy et al. (1980): Passer domesticus, a species of house sparrow. 560 Cf. Ca.Sū.27.50 (laṭṭaśaka). P. Rāy et al. (1980), who read annaḍūṣaka: possibly Gymnorhis xanthocollis, the yellow-throated sparrow. See on Petronia xanthocollis xanthocollis (Burton), the Indian yellowthroated sparrow: S. Ali and S.D. Ripley 10, 80–81. K.N. Dave (1985: 95) sees in the annaḍūṣaka the blackheaded (see S. Ali and S.D. Ripley 10, 207–209: Emberiza melanocephala Scopoli) and redheaded buntings (see S. Ali and S.D. Ripley 10, 209–211: E. bruniceps Brandt). 561 Absent from Carakasamhitā, A.h. and A.s. The vayā (a weaverbird) according to Dalhaṇa. P. Rāy et al. (1980): Ploceus philippinus, the common weaver-bird. Compare Caraka's kulingaka. 562 Cf. A.s.Sū.7.70 (khañjarīṭaka); Hāritasamhitā I.20.12.

Dave (1985: 104–105) says that the term khañjarīṭa denotes any yellow wagtail, but that the distinction between white wagtails (properly called khañjana) and the yellow ones is obliterated by Sanskrit poets and lexicographers. See on the Indian subspecies of Motacilla flava Linnaeus, the yellow wagtail: S. Ali and S.D.
