(Astopaka, Astopaka)
? āstopaka¦, or (v.l.) āstomaka, āstoka (could also be understood as having initial ă-), in LV 249.2--3 ārdrapaṭ- āstopaka-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.
