Source: Wisdom Library: Āyurveda and botanyAṅgaracūḍaka (अङ्गरचूडक) is a Sanskrit word referring to the “free crested wren”. The meat of this animal is part of the māṃsavarga (‘group of flesh’), which is used throughout Ayurvedic literature. The animal Aṅgaracūḍaka is part of the sub-group named Pratuda, refering to animals “who eat while striking”. It was classified by Caraka in his Carakasaṃhitā sūtrasthāna (chapter 27), a classical Ayurvedic work. Caraka defined such groups (vargas) based on the dietic properties of the substance.
