Mallika-Makaranda
RCBS (37847ar). It is generally spelt as #1803 but occasionally as it's too. Ācārya Hemacandra (Deśīgāmamālā VI. 108) informs us 18 GTH #TFE3'. In the commentaries on Jain Sūtras the bird is described as follows :
भारुण्डपक्षिणः ख्याताः त्रिपदा मर्त्यभाषिणः । द्विजिह्वा द्विमुखा चैकादरा भिन्नफलैषिणः ॥ In the fifth "Tantra' of the Pañcatantra we read : एकादराः पृथग्योवाः अन्योन्यफलभक्षिणः । असंहता विनश्यन्ति भारण्डा इव पक्षिणः ॥
In short, it is a bird with one 'belly', two 'necks, three 'legs', two mouths,' eating the same fruit.

Gajendragadkar (Venisaṁhāra, 3rd ed. p. 294) however says: "Explain the word as
ala ya wale which one very much takes to one's heart; or as अत्यन्तमाधीयते तन्निवारणार्थ मनो दोयते यस्मिन्. which one tries very much to avoid."
