Source: archive.org: Syainika Sastra of Rudradeva with English Translation (art)Lagara (लगर) refers to the “Lugger 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., Lagara]. 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”.
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.
