Source: archive.org: Syainika Sastra of Rudradeva with English Translation (art)Atipuṣṭa (अतिपुष्ट) refers to a “highly fed” (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]: “In calling the hawk, either its wings should be tied or it should be covered with cloth. When it comes it should be rewarded by food, so that it may not be disappointed. [...] If highly fed (atipuṣṭa), they grow naughty; if starved, they do not grow attached or strong [atipuṣṭastu vikṛtimaśaktim atikarṣitaḥ]. Birds of this clas are like low people. [...]”.
