Hayasādin (हयसादिन्) refers to “horsemen” (employed during hunting), 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]: “[...] One who has many hawks and many horsemen (hayasādin) should make many circles, separated from each other. The hawker who stands at the middle of the circle in which the king is, should not, without his order, throw the hawk, even thongh the quarry may be very near. This is a rule of propriety which should never be broken. [...]”.
