भूलिंग (bhUliMga)

 
पुराणम्
English
भूलिंगम् / BHŪLIṄGA(M). A bird which lived on the opposite side of the Himālayas. The cry of this bird resembles “MĀ SĀHASA”.(1) Sāhasa = Do not act rashly.) But this bird lived by pecking at and eating the flesh between the teeth of a lion. Śiśupāla mentioned this bird as an example to illustrate that Bhīṣma's advice was at variance with his practice. The bird exhorts people not to act in a rash way (Mā Sāhasa) and at the same time acts rashly.
