Vyakarana (Sanskrit grammar)
Viśrambha (विश्रम्भ).—Relaxation, a characteristic of the grave accent, as contrasted with आयाम (āyāma) which characterizes the acute accent; cf. उदात्तश्चानुदात्तश्च स्वरितश्च त्रयः स्वराः । आयामविश्रम्भाक्षेपैस्त उच्यन्ते (udāttaścānudāttaśca svaritaśca trayaḥ svarāḥ | āyāmaviśrambhākṣepaista ucyante)Sक्षराश्रयाः । विश्रम्भः अधोगमनं गात्राणाम् (kṣarāśrayāḥ | viśrambhaḥ adhogamanaṃ gātrāṇām) Uvvaṭa on R.Pr.III.1.विश्रम्भ (viśrambha) is the same as अन्ववसर्ग (anvavasarga) which is explained in the Mahābhāṣya as अन्ववसर्गो गात्राणां शिथिलता (anvavasargo gātrāṇāṃ śithilatā). M. Bh. on P. I.2.29,30.
Vyakarana (व्याकरण, vyākaraṇa) refers to Sanskrit grammar and represents one of the six additional sciences (vedanga) to be studied along with the Vedas. Vyakarana concerns itself with the rules of Sanskrit grammar and linguistic analysis in order to establish the correct context of words and sentences.
Shyanika-shastra (the science of Hawking and Hunting)
Viśrambha (विश्रम्भ) refers to “relying (on one’s horse)” (during 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 on horseback (āśvina) represents one of the eight subdivisions of Hunting (mṛgayā). [...] Five or six horsemen are quite enough for hunting rhinoceros. [...] If it turns back, then the horseman relying (viśrambha) on the dexterity of his horse should at once run in its front; others should hit it from behind or skilled archers should pierce it with arrows on the sides. [...]”.
Shyanika-shastra (श्यैनिकशास्त्र, śyainikaśāstra) deals with ancient Indian skill of hawking/falconry (one of the ways of hunting) which were laid down in a systematic manner in various Sanskrit treatises. It also explains the philosophy behind how the pleasures derived from sense-experience could lead the way to liberation.
