In a Sanskrit text probably originating in 13th-century Gujarat, I just
came across this line:
yas tājikabhāṣāyāṃ sūkṣmasvāduś ca sahamasāda iti |
This is a reference to the Arabic term /sahm as-saʿāda/ (the Lot of
Fortune, an astrological concept). But I am puzzled by the designation
sūkṣmasvādu, which I have never seen before that I can recall, and
certainly not applied to an abstract concept. Does it ring a bell with
anyone? Is it an idiomatic expression that I have failed to pick up?
Thanks in advance,
Martin Gansten
