Ācchādin (आच्छादिन्) refers to “that which lessens” (the Hawk’s swiftness), 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 treatment of hawks]: “[...] If there is any delay in casting off feathers some think that the flesh of a lizard hastens the casting of feathers. The Mleccha nations administer a black substance within the meat of cows and buffaloes, but this is not proper owing to the repulsive nature of the thing and from the fact that it lessens (ācchādin) the hawk’s swiftness [nairghṛṇyādvegamācchādikaraṇānnaiṣa śasyate]. [...]”.
