Source: archive.org: Syainika Sastra of Rudradeva with English Translation (art)Atidūragata (अतिदूरगत) refers to “being thrown from a great distance”, according to the Śyainika-śāstra: a Sanskrit treatise dealing with the divisions and benefits of Hunting and Hawking, written by Rājā Rudradeva (or Candradeva) in possibly the 13th century.—Accordingly, [while discussing the outlines of hawking]: “[...] When a Vaharī is thrown at a Stork or a Heron from a great distance (atidūragata), it produces a feeling of wonder. What can be more wonderful than the fall of the quarry from the sky like a mountain with clipped wings and frightened by the sound of swift motion?”.
