Source: archive.org: Syainika Sastra of Rudradeva with English Translation (art)Saumyadṛṣṭi (सौम्यदृष्टि) refers to a “gentle eye” (as a result of training 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]: “[...] Whether it is ‘manned’ or not is to be known by its actions. When it stands on one leg with the eyes closed, when it preens or ‘reforms’ its feathers, when it ‘mantles’ with its wings, or looks with a gentle eye (saumyadṛṣṭi) at its master [āsyāvalokane saumyāṃ dṛṣṭiṃ saṃcārayanti ca], ther it is known to be ‘manned’, otherwise not. When the hawk is seen to be manned it should be lured in a creance to a piece of meat from increasing distances. [...]”.
