    apaskhala Tatpur. m. (-laḥ) (ved.) A place which is not a

    threshing floor or outside of a threshing floor; a place which

    is useless for the purpose of threshing or unchaffing rice

    &c.; the word is used in the Śatapathabr. I. 7. 3. 26. as a

    comparison to the Gārhapatya fire on which the clarified

    butter is not to be fried, this fire being unfit for such a

    purpose; for ‘like as grain heaped up outside of a threshing

    floor is to no purpose, in the same manner clarified butter

    fried in the Gārhapatya can produce no result’. E. apa and

    skhala.
