Ūrddhvaga (ऊर्द्ध्वग) refers to “flying above (the hunter)”, 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 (ūrddhvaga), and then suddenly flying up and striking it like an arrow, is called the upward attack. [...]”.
