;. . . . .A story that may date from the Achaemenid times (sixth to fourth centuries BCE) speaks of Indian merchants who “came to the kingdom of Baveru (i.e., Babylon, called in Babylonian ‘Babilu’ and the Old Persian ‘Babiru) [and] brought a royal Peacock which they had trained to scream at the snapping of the fingers and to dance at the clapping of the hands’; the Babylonians bought it for a thousand gold coins, and paid the royal peacock high honor. Evidently the beautiful Indian bird has always been a desired luxury item of export. ~ Page 218 ~ "The Roots of Hinduism ~ Asko Parpola
