Source: archive.org: Syainika Sastra of Rudradeva with English Translation (art)Parīkṣepa (परीक्षेप) refers to the “flight (of a hawk)” (i.e., the casting away of a hawk), 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, “The casting [of hawks] is of two kinds—Hastamoka and Muṣṭimoka. [...] In Muṣṭimoka a hawk is thrown by grasping it in the palm of the hand, the hawk’s feathers being protected by a piece of cloth, taking care that the hawk’s flight (parīkṣepa) is not impeded by the cloth [asaṅgavat parīkṣepo]”.
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.

Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
