Sūkṣmaśāli (सूक्ष्मशालि) or Sūkṣma refers to one of the ten varieties of “rice” (śāli) according to verse 25.57 of the Īśvarasaṃhitā which deals with the classification of the places for building the fire-pits (kuṇḍa). Śāli represents one of the seven village-corns that are fit for food-offerings. Accordingly, “Śāli (e.g., sūkṣmaśāli) is important among them. Others are to be taken in its absence or that of others”.
