General note
Note on names: Bird: पतेर patera is a Sanskrit word referring to a bird (Apte, p. 956). Does not apparently match with any species name. See notes on the names given to the bird in the Yale image, Pica cristata (used by Catesby for the Crested Jay) and Crested Long-tailed Pye (used by George Edwards). Plants: The shape of a pomegranate is sketched in pencil as is the juncea.
