Āṛt (आस्तृत) refers to “covered�, which is mentioned in verse 3.13 of the ṣṭṅgṛdⲹṃh (Sūtrasthāna) by 岵ṭa.—Accordingly, “[...] Having thereupon bathed according to ritual—with the oil removed by an astringent�,rubbed (one’s body) with musk-charged saffron, (and) fumigated (oneself) with aloe-wood one shall (at last) turn to [...] fresh victuals, lard, (and) sesame-oil; (besides), to tepid water for purification (and) a bed covered [viz., ṛt] with a quilt, hide, and silk, ramie, or goat’s-hair sheet [...]�.

Note: The following adjective-compound, which is dependent upon śⲹԲ (“bed�) in 14 b, has been separated from its governing noun and treated as a copulative compound, with the final ṛt (“covered�) nominalized into 徱� (“carpet�). For identifying the various textiles here mentioned, we have consulted the commentaries of Aruṇadatta, Candranandana, Hemādri, Indu, and Cakrapāṇidatta (on Carakasaṃhitā 16.15).

ṛt (अस्तृत) or ṛtmaṇi refers to one of the Maṇis (protection amulets) mentioned in the Atharva-veda. Maṇis refer to small round objects made from natural plant parts or from the solid coverings of animal bodies. It has the properties of being an amulet for protection and warding off evil spirits. or as an herb for treating illnesses. Sudev Krishna Sharman G. listed 9 types of Maṇi [e.g., ṛt-ṇi—refers to herbs made from milk, honey and ghee)] according to the Atharvaveda including specifying assumptions about the meaning.
