Sukhasiddhidā (सुखसिद्धिदा) refers to an “easy success” (in hunting), 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, “Hunting by lying in wait is that in which a bowman singly or jointly with others awaits the approach of animals and then pierces them with poisoned darts. It succeeds where there are trees of the Beleric myrobalan, in corn fields, and in places for drinking water, An easy success (sukhasiddhidā) in killing lions and other ferocious animals is achieved by placing the carcass of a cow in a suitable position”.
