±·¾±³¾Ä«±ô²â²¹ (निमीलà¥à¤�) refers to “having the eyes closedâ€� (as part of the training of hawks), according to the Åš²â²¹¾±²Ô¾±°ì²¹-Å›Äå²õ³Ù°ù²¹: a Sanskrit treatise dealing with the divisions and benefits of Hunting and Hawking, written by RÄjÄ Rudradeva (or Candradeva) in possibly the 13th century.—Accordingly, [while discussing the training of hawks]: “[...] Whether it is ‘mannedâ€� or not is to be known by its actions. When it stands on one leg with the eyes closed (²Ô¾±³¾Ä«±ô²â²¹) [netre ²Ô¾±³¾Ä«±ô²â²¹], when it preens or â€� reformsâ€� its feathers, when it ‘mantlesâ€� with its wings, or looks with a gentle eye at its master, then it is known to be ‘mannedâ€�, otherwise not. When the hawk is seen to be manned it should be lured in a creance to a piece of meat from increasing distances. [...]â€�.
