Jantumat (जन्तुमत्) refers to the “infested with insects�, as mentioned in verse 5.6-8 of the ṣṭṅgṛdⲹṃh (Sūtrasthāna) by 岵ṭa.—Accordingly, “[...] Not shall one drink (water that is) [...]: foamy, infested with insects [jantumat], warm, (and) injurious to the teeth because of excessive cold ; nor celestial (water) that (is) unseasonable ; nor (celestial water) that (is) seasonable (but) the first (of the season), [...] (such water) one shall not drink�.
