*KASHĀYAS*—Pāṇini also refers to names of *kashāyas*, or decoctions (VI.2.10, *Adhvaryu-kashāyayor jātau*) of which the *Kāśikā* gives several examples. The *dauvārika-kashāya*, must have been an intoxicating drink of mild effect specially prepared for the *dauvārika* or doorkeeper (Pāṇini, VII.3.4; also *Arth*. Text. V.3), whose duties required him to indulge only in the mildest kinds of drinks.
