[«𱹾dzܲ Ա»] � Vajavat in Arts glossary
: archive.org: Syainika Sastra of Rudradeva with English Translation (art)

Ჹ (वाजवत्) or Ჹtva resembling the Vāja—class of Yellow-eyed Hawks (known as the ṭaṣa division), according to the ŚⲹԾ첹-śٰ: 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 yellow-eyed division of hawks]: “As Patra, Vāja and Chada are synonymous words, all birds have a common name Vāja (Ჹ-ٱ). Just as, though Aśvathāmā, Karṇa, Bhīṣma, Pārtha and Rukmī could all draw the bow with their left hand, Pārtha alone was called ‘the drawer of the bow, with the left hand� for his pre-eminence, so, though all birds are Vāja (winged), the hawks specially are called Vāja�.
