Chakravaka is a ruddy goose, commonly called the Brahmany duck or goose. Chakravaka birds are always seen to fly in pairs during the day but are supposed to remain separate during the night. The `Chakravaka` in the poetry of the Hindus is heir turtle-dove for constancy and conjugal affection with the singular circumstance of the pair being doomed for ever to nocturnal separation for offending one of the Hindu Munis or sages.
Chakravaka was also the name of a wise counsellor in the Pancha Tantra. Hiranyagarbha, the king of the water-fowl was anxious to make war, when his minister, Chakravaka made many speeches to prevent it, suggesting that victory was ever doubtful.
