󾱳 (अवगाहि�) refers to one of the ten classifications of food (), also known as ṛt, according to the 12th century Yogaśāstra (verse 3.130) by Hemacandra. The term 󾱳 is difficult to translate: it is the product which results from cooking rice in a pan filled with ghee (ṛt) or oil (taila); after the third cooking in the oil there is no further production of 󾱳 and the rice cooked willbe Ծṛt첹.
