Vinetṛ (विनेतृ) refers to the “king”, 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 yellow-eyed division of hawks]: “Hawks, like good ministers of state, can bring about desired effects, if they are kept contented by proper treatment, and are given good nourishment. As an expert in the art of government, and nobody else, knows the uncommon intelligence of the king (vinetṛ) [vineturasamaṃ], so does a bird understand the intelligence and expertness of its tamer”.
