The former is found in one recension of the Kauṣītaki Upaniṣad,¹ while the latter is probably the reading of the other recension of the Upaniṣad,² and certainly the reading in one passage of the Atharvaveda,³ though the text has apaśrayaḥ, which is accepted as possible by Roth.⁴ In both cases the term clearly means something connected with a couch (Āsandī in the Atharvaveda, Paryaṅka in the Kauṣītaki Upaniṣad). Aufrecht,⁵ Roth,⁶ and Max Müller⁷ render it as ‘coverlet’ or ‘cushion,’ but Whitney⁸ seems evidently right in holding that it must mean a ‘support’ or something similar. - [Previous: v1.c3.s4.191](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s4.191) - [Next: v1.c3.s4.193](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s4.193) - [Up: v1.c3.s4](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s4) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s4.192](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s4.192) · Pramāṇa
