Patrin (पत्रिन्) refers to “birds”, 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 yellow-eyed division of hawks]: “As Patra, Vāja and Chada are synonymous words, all birds have a common name Vāja. Just as, though Aśvathāmā, Karṇa, Bhīṣma, Pārtha and Rukmī could all draw the bow with their left hand, Pārtha alone was called ‘the drawer of the bow, with the left hand’ for his pre-eminence, so, though all birds are Vāja (winged), the hawks specially are called Vāja [śyene patrīti vājīti śabdo]”.
