Haviṣyānna (हविष्यान्न) [=Hāviṣyānna?] or simply Haviṣya refers to the “sacrificial food”, according to the Kaulāvalinirṇaya.—Accordingly, “At night the pure one eats the sacrificial food [i.e., haviṣyānna] offered to the fire and by day he should repeat the Vidyā. In every circumstance the Hero has two identities (dvivāsa lit. ‘two clothes’) and is always sexually continent. At night he should worship the goddess in accord with Kula practice. It is said here that the enjoined practice (vidhi) is of two kinds for all the twice born”.
