Source: archive.org: Vagbhata’s Ashtanga Hridaya Samhita (first 5 chapters)Āstṛta (आस्तृत) refers to “covered”, which is mentioned in verse 3.13 of the Aṣṭāṅgahṛdayasaṃhitā (Sūtrasthāna) by Vāgbhaṭa.—Accordingly, “[...] Having thereupon bathed according to ritual—with the oil removed by an astringent—,rubbed (one’s body) with musk-charged saffron, (and) fumigated (oneself) with aloe-wood one shall (at last) turn to [...] fresh victuals, lard, (and) sesame-oil; (besides), to tepid water for purification (and) a bed covered [viz., āstṛta] with a quilt, hide, and silk, ramie, or goat’s-hair sheet [...]”.
Note: The following adjective-compound, which is dependent upon śayana (“bed”) in 14 b, has been separated from its governing noun and treated as a copulative compound, with the final āstṛta (“covered”) nominalized into gdiṅ (“carpet”). For identifying the various textiles here mentioned, we have consulted the commentaries of Aruṇadatta, Candranandana, Hemādri, Indu, and Cakrapāṇidatta (on Carakasaṃhitā 16.15).

[Sanskrit to German]
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.
