Source: archive.org: Syainika Sastra of Rudradeva with English Translation (art)Nediṣṭha (नेदिष्ठ) refers to a “nearby (quarry)” (during hunting), 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 outlines of hawking]: “[...] One who has many hawks and many horsemen should make many circles, separated from each other. The hawker who stands at the middle of the circle in which the king is, should not, without his order, throw the hawk, even thongh the quarry may be very near (nediṣṭha). This is a rule of propriety which should never be broken. [...]”.
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.
