Aklinna (अक्लिन्न) refers to “unputrid”, as mentioned in verse 5.3 of the Aṣṭāṅgahṛdayasaṃhitā (Sūtrasthāna) by Vāgbhaṭa.—Accordingly, “[...] if, berained by it, stainless rice-pap kept in a silver bowl (remains) unputrid [viz. aklinna] and undiscoloured, it (is) to be drunk as Gangetic (water). Otherwise, (it is) oceanic (water); this (is) not to be drunk except in the month of Āśvayuja”.

context information

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
