kind of spirituous liquor, viz. surā. [The latter meaning
requires an explanation: Manu 11. 93 says: surā vai mala-
mannānāṃ &c. and forbids the drinking of the spirituous liquor
surā to a man of the three first castes; Kullūka in his com-
ment seems to take malamannānāṃ or annamala in the general sense
of ‘extract of rice’, because surā is made from the flower of
rice (taṇḍulapiṣṭasādhyatvātsurā annamalam); but Pulastya, as
quoted by Vijnāneśvara in the Mitākṣara names twelve
sorts of intoxicating drinks, stating that surā is the very
worst description amongst them: pānasaṃ drākṣaṃ mādhūkaṃ khārjūraṃ
tālamaikṣavam . madhūtthaṃ sairamāriṣṭamaireyaṃ nārikelajam . samā-
nāni vijānīyānmadyānyekādaśaiva tu . dvādaśaṃ tu surāmadyaṃ sarve-
ṣāmadhamaṃ smṛtam; and Vijnāneśvara in commenting upon the
quoted passage of Manu and adducing Pāṇ. II. 1. 34. where
the word anna means a preparation of rice &c. observes
that it is intended to convey in this passage the sense of
spirituous liquor, the latter being also an annavikāra or
preparation of rice, and surā being used also in the Sautrā-
maṇī libations in the sense of spirituous liquor made of rice:
‘surā vai malamannānāṃ pāpmā ca malamucyata iti . annavikāra-
syaiva surātvanirdeśādannaśabdasya cānnena vyañjanamityādiṣu vrīhyā-
divikāra eva prayogadarśanādguḍamadhunośca rasarūpatvāttathā sau-
trāmaṇīgraheṣu cānnavikāra eva surāśabdasya śrutatvāt . ’.
For this meaning of anna compare also annapeya.] E. anna
