According to Mahīdhara,³ the liquor was made from flowers (Puṣpa). Zimmer⁴ thinks that it was the family drink, and this is supported by the fact that in the Atharvaveda it twice occurs as a household beverage.⁵ Hillebrandt⁶ is of opinion that it was very much the same as Surā. - [Previous: v1.c3.s21.474](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s21.474) - [Next: v1.c3.s21.476](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s21.476) - [Up: v1.c3.s21](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s21) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s21.475](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s21.475) · Pramāṇa
