GG5: kalavinka; an imaginary bird in paradise that sings sweet notes, according to Buddhist sutras.

I prefer to keep it simple as in the GG5 version.

美しい声のたとえ。
または、美しい声を持っているもののたとえ。
...上半身は美しい女性、下半身が鳥の姿をしていて、美しい声で鳴くとされ、その声は仏の声のたとえとして使われる。
(while there are opinions on the human head or not, jitenon says "yes")

kalavinka ［迦陵頻伽］ (;  karyōbinga): A bird said to possess a voice more beautiful and melodious than any other bird.
“Sage lord, heavenly being among heavenly beings, voiced like the kalavinka bird, you who pity and comfort living beings, we now pay you honor and reverence.” 
 some Buddhist art depicts it as having the body of a bird and a human head.


Wikipedia:
Kalaviṅka  is a fantastical immortal creature in Buddhism, with a human head and a bird's torso, with long flowing tail.[4]
The kalaviṅka is said to dwell in the Western pure land and is reputed to preach the Dharma with its fine voice.[4] I
...but in Japanese Buddhist art, it has been portrayed with an upper torso of a winged boddhisatva (i.e., having hands and arms), with a birdlike lower extremity.

Wikipedia page says used to refer to geisha, courtesans, etc. with a beautiful voice
https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/迦陵頻伽
また、日本では美しい芸者や花魁（おいらん）、美声の芸妓を指してこの名で呼ぶこともあった。

http://koreantempleguide.com/gareungbinga-and-gongmyeongjo-kalavinka-and-jivamjivaka-가릉빈가-공명조/#:~:text=The Sanskirt name of Kalavinka,described as having Buddha's voice.
The Sanskirt name of Kalavinka means “a beautiful sound” in English. And it’s believed that the Kalavinka has the most beautiful, the purest, and the most delicate of voices found in Buddhist texts. For this reason, the voice of the Kalavinka is often described as having Buddha’s voice.

Didn't seem like a name would be [yoji]...  If it is yoji, it would seem to be as in reference to a beautiful voice, not as the creature itself.  That would be a second sense, no?

I've edited the [expl] to include the bits central to the the metaphorical use.  That said, not all religious traditions agree on what this creature is precisely.

Sometimes "just a bird", but usually represented with the body of a bird and head/arms of a human. jitenon.jp shares this view, as does daijs. (i.e. the Japanese tradition)

Google search reveals mostly human+bird imagery.

Did we really gloss a religious figure as "imaginary"? :)  The kokugos do this too (想像上), but still... 

"sings sweet notes" seems like quite an understatement. (see refs)

Particularly interesting from wikipedia:
In Japanese text, it is sometimes written not phonetically, but under translated names myōonchō (妙音鳥, "exquisite sounding bird"),[3] kōonchō (好音鳥, "goodly sounding bird"),[3] among other rendered names.

OK. I've added mention of 音写 to the Editorial Guidelines.

I think we should include the lsrc info for 音写 words and 
I actually wanted to take this up on the mailing list some 
time ago (but never got to it). I think it should make its 
way into policy.
