ʳܰDZٲ (पुरोवा�) refers to “easterly wind�, mentioned in verse 3.54-55 of the ṣṭṅgṛdⲹṃh (Sūtrasthna) by 岵ṭa.—Accordingly, “[...] Dew, alkali, surfeit, curds, sesame-oil, lard, hot sun,—pungent liquor, sleep in the day-time, and easterly wind [viz., ܰDZٲ] one shall eschew. [...]�.

Note: ʳܰDZٲ (“easterly wind�) has been rendered by mdun-gyi (b)ser-bu (“easterly cold wind�), with bser-bu (“cold wind�) corrupted in P to bsil-bu (“coolness�) ( ?). In 2.40 (q.v.) the same expression is, in spite of the commentaries, more likely to denote frontal wind.
