[«𱹾dzܲ Ա»] � Rasapushta in Arts glossary
: archive.org: Syainika Sastra of Rudradeva with English Translation (art)

鲹ṣṭ (रसपुष्�) refers to the “intensity of pleasure�, according to the ŚⲹԾ첹-śٰ: a Sanskrit treatise dealing with the divisions and benefits of Hunting and Hawking, written by Rājā Rudradeva (or Candradeva) in possibly the 13th century.—Accordingly, �Hunting on horseback (śԲ) represents one of the eight subdivisions of Hunting (ṛg). [...] In the matter of the intensity of pleasure (ṣṭ) no distinction is found between hunting and the enjoyment of women [strīmṛgavyābhidā kāpi ṣṭu ca dṛśyate]. The Śāstrakaras, however, have shown this minute difference, that in the enjoyment of women pleasure grows less with repetition (which apparently is not the case with hunting). [...]�.
