Another article of diet when mixed with water was called *udamantha* or *udaka-mantha* (VI.3.60). *Mantha* was a kind of groats made from fried rice (*Kātyāyana Śrauta*, V.8.12) and generally mixed with milk (*manthaḥ kshīra-saṁyuto dhānā-saktuḥ*). The special word *udamantha* referred to such *sattu* when taken only with water. This food is now called *bhujiyā ke sattu*. (For *mantha*, see also *Sat. Br.*, II.5.².6).
