स्रोतस् तडागभेद्य एकपुत्रकः कलहकारिका च रला । भृङ्गारवच्च विरुवति निशि भूमौ द्व्यङ्गुलशरीरा ॥ ८८-०६ ॥

Srotabherī, Taḍākabherī and Ekaputraka are birds of the same class. The Kalahakārikā, and the Ralā are also birds of the same class. The Ralā is a bird two digits high and sounds like a Bhṛṅgāra (a golden pitcher?) at night.
