Āvila (आविल) refers to “being surcharged (with dust)” [?], 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]: “In summer, when the air is heated by the terrible rays of the meridian sun, the bare trees cannot afford shelter; stormy winds surcharged (āvila) with dust blow on all sides [jhañjhānilā dhūlijālairāvilā vānti sarvataḥ]; [...] then the season, like the forest fire, becomes intolerable to these birds [i.e., hawks], [...]. Therefore cooling processes should be now resorted to”.
