आस्तोपक (Astopaka)

 
Edgerton Buddhist Hybrid
English
? āstopaka, or (v.l.) āstomaka, āstoka (could also be understood as having initial ă-), in LV 〔249.2—3〕 ārdrapaṭāstopaka-jāla-śayanaiś ca (in list of ascetic practices)
this part of cpd. in Tib. rendered stegs buḥi steṅ, top surface of a board, which makes sense (lying or sleeping in wet clothes, or in water
read jala for jāla, as Tib. proves). This word is prob. corrupt, and in fact the mss. vary greatly
the best ones °maka.
