(iv) *Yavaka* (V.2.3). Both Pāṇini and Charaka mention *yavaka* as the name of a variety of rice. Pāṇini refers to it also in the *Gaṇa-pāṭha* (*yava vrīhishu*, V.4.3, from which we get *yavaka*). The same *gaṇa* also contains *jīrṇa śālishu*, from which we get *jīrṇaka* as a kind of rice, probably the same as *jūrṇa* of Charaka (Sūtra-sthāna, XXVII.18).
