Nyāyāgata (न्यायागत) refers to “one who honestly earns his livelihood”, 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, “[...] In other Śāstras, too, many precepts of wise men are heard which stimulate activity in those who conduct themselves properly in this world. Even a householder, who honestly earns his livelihood (nyāyāgata), and strives after the knowledge of truth, and honours his guests, and offers oblations to the Manes, and tells the truth, attains liberation. [...]”.
