ĀśԲ (आपोशान) refers to the custom of “drinking before a meal some water from the hollow of the palm�, and is mentioned in the Naiṣadha-carita 19.28. ĀśԲ refers to the custom of drinking before a meal some water from the hollow of the palm by stretching out the little finger keeping the other fingers closed. The word [śԲ] is spelt also śԲ, śԲ and śԲ. It is believed that the ĀśԲ ceremony turns the food into nectar, and should be accompanied by the appropriate formula. Cf. Brahmapurāṇa quoted in Vīramitrodaya (Āhnikaprakāśa). Cf. Brahmapurāṇa 163.18. The custom is prescribed in Yājñavalkya 1.31.

The word śԲ is extremely rare in Kāvya literature. It is used also in Anargharāghava 7.96. The word occurs in its Prākṛta form in Koūhala’s Līlāvaī (verse 8). Usāyaṇi and Osāyaṇi are given as variants. Another form is Osāaṇa�.
