upastaraṇa denotes in the description of the couch (Par­yañka) in the Kausītaki Upanisad a ‘ coverlet,’ and has this sense, used metaphorically, in the Rigveda also. In the Atharvaveda it seems to have the same meaning. Whitney, however, renders it ‘ couch,’ though he translates the parallel word Astarana in another passage6 by ‘cushion.’
