Pratapta (प्रतप्त) refers to “heated (dust)” (of the surface of the earth), 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]: “In summer, [...] when the river water flows, boiling as it were, the earth’s surface becomes hardly touchable on account of the heated dust (pratapta-reṇu); [...] then the season, like the forest fire, becomes intolerable to these birds [i.e., hawks], [...]. Therefore cooling processes should be now resorted to”.
