ṛṣṭa (मृष्�) refers to “savoury�, as mentioned in verse 5.1-2 of the ṣṭṅgṛdⲹṃh (Sūtrasthāna) by 岵ṭa.—Accordingly, “[...] vitalizing, refreshing, pleasing one’s stomach, satisfying, stimulating one’s intellect, thin, of indistinct taste, savoury [viz., ṛṣṭa], cold, light, (and) nectar-like (is) Ganges water fallen from the sky; (as it is), however, touched by sun, moon, and wind (in falling), it is largely dependent upon place and time so far as its wholesomeness and unwholesomeness are concerned�.

Note: In nearly all cases the views of the scholiasts seem to have been shared by the translators. A fine example is ṛṣṭa (“clean�), which has been interpreted to mean ź (“savoury�), in keeping with Aruṇadatta’s statement that �ṛṣṭa� śuddham iti na vyākhyeyamŨĔ�ṛṣṭa (is) not to be explained (here) as śuddha�. (Aruṇadatta glosses, 岹ܰ—“pleasant in taste�; Candranandana, —“sweet�; Indu, tvādiguṇayukta—“connected with the qualities of sweetness etc.�).
