Source: archive.org: Syainika Sastra of Rudradeva with English Translation (art)Dvandvasaṃcārin (द्वन्द्वसंचारिन्) refers to “two birds flying together”, 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 two birds fly together (dvandvasaṃcārin) and one is killed, the survivor mourns pitifully. This excites the emotion of sorrow. In the king, the lover’s emotion is discernible in two conditions, that of enjoyment when the quarry is caught, and that of separation when it escapes. [...]”.
