Source: archive.org: Syainika Sastra of Rudradeva with English Translation (art)1) Pāṭava (पाटव) refers to the “skill and cleverness” (of trained Hawks), 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]: “Those hawks, which have been taken from the nests, should be first tamed by being kept tied after their capture, and as they are unpractised in hunting, they should be taught in a variety of ways by an expert trainer of birds, by gradually increasing their skill and cleverness (pāṭava). [...]”.
2) Pāṭava (पाटव) refers to the “speed” (of a horse), according to the Śyainika-śāstra: “[...] While the king himself, surrrounded by a few distinguished and faithful champions, [...] should ride on a good horse of excellent gait and speed (pāṭava), with flowing bridles, and trotting in harmony with the music of drums; and, accompanied by a large number of hawkers, proceeds to a shady place in a mountain in proper time and with great watchfulness [...]”.
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.
