Srotasvinī (स्रोतस्विनी) refers to a “river” (with flowing water), 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 (srotasvinī) water flows, boiling as it were, the earth’s surface becomes hardly touchable on account of the heated dust; [...] then the season, like the forest fire, becomes intolerable to these birds [i.e., hawks], [...]. Therefore cooling processes should be now resorted to”.
