Source: archive.org: Syainika Sastra of Rudradeva with English Translation (art)Rajjuyukta (रज्जुयुक्त) refers to “having applied the creance” (of a hawk), 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 training of hawks]: “[...] When the hawk is seen to be manned it should be lured in a creance (rajjuyukta) to a piece of meat from increasing distances. The distance is to be increased gradually, and the hawk should be lured twice or thrice. If on being lured, it does not hesitate, nor fly in a curve, and does not ‘carry’ its meat, then it should be lured without the creance. [...]”.
