बायस (bāyasa)

  1. crow
    • c. 1500s CE, Tulsīdās, Rāmacaritamānasa:
      मैं अपनी दिसि कीन्ह निहोरा। तिन्ह निज ओर न लाउब भोरा॥
      बायस पलिअहिं अति अनुरागा। होहिं निरामिष कबहुँ कि कागा॥॥
      maiṃ apanī disi kīnha nihorā. tinha nija ora na lāuba bhorā.
      bāyasa paliahiṃ ati anurāgā. hohiṃ nirāmiṣa kabahum̐ ki kāgā..
      From my side, i have made entreaties to them, but from their own side whey will not bring simpleness inside.
      Nurture though you may the crow with utmost affection, how does it ever become free from meat-eating?
