Thanks a lot for this. I had seen the meanings of *rasa* listed in *Böhtlingk
and Roth Grosses Petersburger Wörterbuch* (where I did not find any
reference to *Śāṅkhāyana Gṛhya Sūtra*), but not in *Böhtlingk
Sanskrit-Wörterbuch in kürzerer Fassung*.

It is useful to know that it is Nārāyaṇa’s (N.) commentary that interprets
*rasa* as *praṇava*. Is a digital edition of this commentary available? My
search on archive, scribd, and DLI drew a blank.
