From excess of joy, O prince, arises the must of elephants; but the must of an elephant declines when he is bereft of joy. 5. From the eyes, palate, temples, ears, navel, penis, trunk, and nipples, and from the hairs of the body (tanūruha), thus in many ways the must-fluid may flow, O king”.

Source: archive.org: Syainika Sastra of Rudradeva with English Translation (art)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. [...]”.
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.
