Source: Research Gate: On Fish in Manasollasa (c. 1131 AD)Vidruva (विद्रुव) refers to a type of fish identified with Oxygaster clupeoides Bl., as mentioned in the 12th-century Mānasollāsa or Abhilaṣitārthachintāmaṇi, an ancient Sanskrit text describing thirty-five kinds of marine and fresh water fishes.—Vidruva is a riverine, scaly, and small fish. In Sanskrit vidruva may indicate something moving fast or frightened. Hora (1951) stated that this fish could belong to genera such as Chela, Rasbora, Danio, etc. We believe vidruva should be Oxygaster clupeoides Bl., a carp that is found all over India and is a fast-moving fish.
