Source: archive.org: Syainika Sastra of Rudradeva with English Translation (art)Strīstanya (स्त्रीस्तन्य) refers to “goat’s milk” (or human milk), 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]: “[...] Care should be taken that they are not annoyed. Judicious care is always productive of the desired effect. If they become thin, they should be given meat mixed with either goat’s milk (strīstanya) or cow-butter; or to sharpen appetite the meat may be mixed either with cloves or with human urine. In this way their appetite should be increased, and they should be kept in health by gradually increasing the quantity of their food, and by cooling processes. [...]”.
