Tanūruha (तनूरुह) refers to the “feathers” (of a bird), 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]: “The throwing of Vāsas on to birds resembles a sexual embrace, sometimes pushing and sometimes pulling. When the quarry is caught and in the struggle its feathers (tanūruha) drop from the sky, the feathers look like a shower of flowers from the hands of the delighted Indra. [...]”.
