Source: Research Gate: On Fish in Manasollasa (c. 1131 AD)Khirīḍa (खिरीड) refers to a type of fish identified with Rita gogra Sykes., as mentioned in the 12th-century Mānasollāsa or Abhilaṣitārthachintāmaṇi, an ancient Sanskrit text describing thirty-five kinds of marine and fresh water fishes.—Khirida is riverine, large, and possibly scaleless. The name could not be traced to Sanskrit. Hora (1951) tentatively identified it as Pangasius pangasius Ham., a catfish. Taking a clue from a Marathi name, khirurh, we suggest khirida to be Rita gogra Sykes or Rita pavimentata Valenciannes, which is common in the rivers of the Deccan and is also a catfish.
