Try-āśir, ‘with three admixtures,’ is an epithet of Soma in the Rigveda.¹ According to Sāyaṇa this means mixed with curds (Dadhi), meal (Saktu), and milk (Payas). More accurately it would seem² to denote the milk (gavāśir), the barley (yavāśir), and the curds (dadhyāśir), which were used to mix with the Soma.
