Source: archive.org: Syainika Sastra of Rudradeva with English Translation (art)Vārityāga (वारित्याग) refers to “luring the waterfowl out of the 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 outlines of hawking]: “Those birds that have confidence in each other should be cast off together. This has such a charm that poets get bewildered. Drums are to be sounded to make the waterfowl leave the water (vārityāga), so that the hawks may take them out of their element”.
This section covers the skills and profiencies of the Kalas (“performing arts”) and Shastras (“sciences”) involving ancient Indian traditions of sports, games, arts, entertainment, love-making and other means of wordly enjoyments.
