Mṛnmayaśukti (मृन्मयशुक्ति) refers to “clay shells”, mentioned in verse 3.31 of the Aṣṭāṅgahṛdayasaṃhitā (Sūtrasthāna) by Vāgbhaṭa.—Accordingly, “[...] One shall drink broth (that is) not too thick, rasālā, curds, raga and khāṇḍava syrup, or, from clay shells [viz., mṛnmayaśukti], a five-essence potion (that is) kept in a new vessel, mixed with small banana and coco-nut pieces, (and) acidulated, [...]”.

Note: Mṛnmayaśukti (“clay shell”), which signifies a thin-walled cup (tanukaiś caṣakaiḥ, Candranandana), has been rendered tautologically by kham-phor-snod (“clay-vessel cup”).—por (for phor) in P is a miscarving.
