Moraṇa (मोरण) or Moraṭa refers to “late beestings”, as mentioned in verse 5.41 of the Aṣṭāṅgahṛdayasaṃhitā (Sūtrasthāna) by Vāgbhaṭa.—Accordingly, “invigorative (are) caseous milk, early beestings, condensed milk, late beestings [viz., moraṇa], etc.; (they are) productive of sperm, sleep, and phlegm, constipating, heavy, and morbific”.

Note: Moraṇa (“late beestings”) (v.l. moraṭa) is “that after seven days as long as it does not pass into clearness” (tad eva saptāhāt parato yāvat prasannatāṃ na gacchati tāvat). By the “passing into clearness” must probably be understood the disappearance of the so-called colostrum globules or Donne corpuscles, which takes place in the third week after parturition; Hilgenberg & Kirfel, however, refer it to the cow’s restitution to ritual purity. (cf., pīyūṣa, “early beestings”)
