Dharmashastra (religious law)

: Sacred Texts: The Grihya Sutras, Part 2 (SBE30)

ʳܰḍāśa (पुरोडा�) refers to “cake�, mentioned as an example of a gift used in a Yajña (sacrifice), in the Āpastamba-ⲹñ-paribhāṣ�-sūtras 1.—�ⲹñ [viz., ṣṭ], sacrifice, is an act by which we surrender something for the sake of the gods. Such an act must rest on a sacred authority (), and serve for man’s salvation (śǰٳ). The nature of the gift is of less importance. It may be ܰḍāśa, cake; karu, pulse; ṃnⲹ, mixed milk; 貹ś, an animal; soma, the juice of the Soma-plant, &c.; nay, the smallest offerings of butter, flour, and milk may serve for the purpose of a sacrifice�.

ʳܰḍāśa is a cake made of meal (‘pakva� piṣṭapiṇḍaḥ�), different from karu, which is more of a pulse consisting of grains of rice or barley, and clarified butter (‘‘ghṛtataṇḍulobhayātmakam�). This ܰḍāśa cake has to be divided for presentation to different deities. If there are more than two deities, the plural 屹ٲ󱹲, separate, has to be used. [...] A ܰḍāśa may be made of ī, rice, or of ī, wild growing rice. The wild rice has to be pounded, but not the good rice. The preparation, however, has to yield in a ṛt, the important point being the substance.
