Rajanīmukha (रजनीमुख) refers to “nightfall”, mentioned in verse 3.54 of the Aṣṭāṅgahṛdayasaṃhitā (Sūtrasthāna) by Vāgbhaṭa.—Accordingly, “[...] one shall stay at night [viz., rajanīmukha] on palace(-roof gardens that are) white with mortar and flooded by moonbeams. Dew, alkali, surfeit, curds, sesame-oil, lard, hot sun,—[...]”.

Note: Rajanīmukha (“at nightfall”) has been simplified to mthsan (“at night”) and gnas kyaṅ (v.l. gnas bya)—“one shall stay” added as predicate.
