Source: archive.org: Syainika Sastra of Rudradeva with English Translation (art)Mandacārin (मन्दचारिन्) refers to “slow-moving quarry”, 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]: “[...] If the king, delighted with the pleasure of this, wants to have the sport alone, he should collect a large number of expert cane-holders. These, brandishing their canes on all sides, should make the Lāvas and other slow-moving quarry (mandacārin) rise, and bring them within range (of the hawk)”.
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. Traditionally these topics were dealt with in Sanskrit treatises explaing the philosophy and the justification of enjoying the pleasures of the senses.
