Utplutya (उत्प्लुत्य) refers to “suddenly flying up” (and striking the 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]: “[...] Attacks are of three kinds, upwards, horizontal and downwards. All three attacks are very enjoyable when the Vājas attack the Varajas. [...] Hiding itself like a shadow below the quarry when it is flying above, and then suddenly flying up (utplutya) and striking it like an arrow, is called the upward attack. [...]”.

Utplutya (उत्प्लुत्य) refers to “leaping towards someone (in battle)”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.5.17 (“The fight between Viṣṇu and Jalandhara”).—Accordingly, as Sanatkumāra narrated to Vyāsa: “[...] Then a great battle ensued between Viṣṇu and Jalandhara, the ruler of Asuras, both filling up the sky with their arrows. [...] When the trident was split, the lord of the Asuras leapt (utplutya) and rushed against Viṣṇu and hit him in the chest with his fist. Without minding the pain in the least, the heroic Viṣṇu hit Jalandhara in the chest with his firm fist. [...]”.
