अधिषवण Tatpur. n. (-णम्) (ved.) The name of two wooden
boards, on which the juice of the Soma plant was expressed

Vedic Reference
English
Adhi-ṣavaṇa. — The two Adhiṣavaṇas^1 are usually understood,
as by Roth^2 and Zimmer, ^3 to designate the two boards between
which the Soma was pressed. Hillebrandt, ^4 however, shows
from the ritual that the boards were not placed one over the
other, but were placed one behind the other, the two serving
as a foundation upon which the Soma was pressed by a stone.
This theory seems to account best for the etymological sense
of the name ‘over-press, ’ as well as for the use of the word as
an adjective (‘used for pressing upon’). But according to the
procedure as witnessed by Haug^5 in the Deccan, the shoots of
the plant are first placed on the skin, one of the boards being
then laid over them and pounded with a stone. The shoots
are then taken out and placed upon the board, the second
board being then laid over them.
