Astopaka
? 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.
