Dear colleagues,

while reading the Śrīkr̥ṣṇakīrtana, a pre-Caitanya text attributed to Baṛu Caṇḍīdāsa, I found a passage in which Kānāi/Kr̥ṣṇa compliments Rādhā by comparing her ears to those of a (female) vulture: gidhinīsadr̥śa tora dekhõ dui kāna (ŚKK, Dānakhaṇḍa, 16.1d). While I believe gidhinī (Sanskrit. gr̥dhrī) is probably the gyps bengalensis, I am not familiar with this kind of simile. Are you aware of this or similar expressions in either Sanskrit or vernacular literature?
Any suggestion would be appreciated.
With kind regards, 

Fabrizio
