Dear Arlo, It's vīruttr̥ṇamayapuruṣa in verse 264 of the Subhāṣitaratnakōṣa:
kāmaṁ kūlē nadīnām anugiri mahiṣīyūthanīḍōpakaṇṭhē gāhantē śaṣparājīr abhinavaśalabhagrāsalōkā balākāḥ antarvinyastavīruttr̥ṇamayapuruṣatrāsavighnaṁ kathañcit kāpotaṁ kodravāṇāṁ kavalayati kaṇān kṣētrakōṇaikadeśe Ingalls' translation: By the streambank, up toward the hills, close by where the buffaloes are lying, the cranes stalk calmly through the young grass hunting for fresh locusts; the flock of doves, though hindered by their fear of straw-filled scarecrows set therein, yet manages to peck up grains of beggarweed along a corner of the field.
