Note 2 — The Cat who guarded the Precepts
H. (Henry) Parker translation
Probably, “He that moves about in the jungle,” derived from the Tamil words kāḍu, jungle—in compounds, kāṭṭu—and salam, Skt. cala, moving, unsteady. The bird is Centrococcyx rufipennis, which utters a booming call, and has red eyes. ↑
