Source: archive.org: Syainika Sastra of Rudradeva with English Translation (art)Śoṣitā (शोषिता) refers to one of the four diseases of the breath (of 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]: “[...] Four diseases relate to the irregularity of breath. The common name of these diseases is Śākhā, one of which is caused by some sort of hurt or shock to the lungs, another by the morbid condition of the phlegm, the third by that of the bile, the fourth by a general waste of the system. The last named is called Śoṣitā and is very difficult to cure. Birds suffering from Śākhā should be kept in a dark, lonely place, and given small quantities of meat and water. [...]”.

I, 390 means either “thoroughly chilled” or “well wetted. ” It is explained as “him’odakena su-sīto suṭṭhu tinto. ” Perhaps we have to read so sīta, or sīna (cp. sīna2), or sinna. The corresponding sotatta (explained as “suriya-santāpena su-tatto”) should then be so tatto. (Page 727)
