Source: archive.org: Syainika Sastra of Rudradeva with English Translation (art)Ghātaja (घातज) refers to “diseases (of hawks) caused by hurt”, 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 the disease is caused by hurt (ghātaja), meat is to be given with gum-myrrh, even though there is pain in the limbs. The body is to be besmeared with turmeric and it should be sprinkled over with stale water. [...]”.
This section covers the skills and profiencies of the Kalas (“performing arts”) and Shastras (“sciences”) involving ancient Indian traditions of sports, games, arts, entertainment, love-making and other means of wordly enjoyments. Traditionally these topics were dealt with in Sanskrit treatises explaing the philosophy and the justification of enjoying the pleasures of the senses.
