Kūhī (कूही) refers to the “Shahin falcon” and represents one of the seven kinds of Black-Eyed Hawks (known as the Kṛṣṇākṣā division), 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]: “The names of the various species of the two principal divisions are:—[e.g., Kūhī]. The tiercels also have the same divisions. This completes the species of the ‘black-eyed’. This class can be tamed by much ‘watching’. It eats flesh and drinks water. If it bites the falconer’s hand, stones are to be presented to it”.
