*COOKING*—Cooking is called *pakti* (III.3.95). Frying-pans were used for cooking (*ukhā*, *ukhya*, IV.2.17). The process of roasting on spikes is referred to as *śūlā-karoti* (V.4.65) and articles so roasted were known as *śūlya* (IV.2.17). The commentators understand this process to apply only to meat preparations. Pāṇini explicitly refers to *māṁsa* in *sūtra* IV.4.67. Kauṭilya also mentions shops of cooked meat (*pakva-māṁsika*, II.36) and *śūlya* articles of food.
