Toxicology (Study and Treatment of poison)

: Shodhganga: Kasyapa Samhita—Text on Visha Chikitsa

Ajadugdha (अजदुग्�) refers to �(warm) goat-milk� and is used in the treatment of snake-bites such as those caused by the Mahāmaṇḍalī-snakes, according to the Kāśyapa Saṃhitā: an ancient Sanskrit text from the Pāñcarātra tradition dealing with both Tantra and Viṣacikitsā—an important topic from Āyurveda which deals with the study of Toxicology (Viṣavidyā or Sarpavidyā).—Accordingly, one of the treatments is mentioned as follows: “Exhalation of warm goat-milk (ajadugdha) and ghee well cooked/boiled in a Bell-metal vessel removes vāta (cold) and poison. The same can be taken to treat other kinds of poisoning which affect the hands and stomach�.

ܲ (अजादुग्ध) refers to the “milk of a she-goat� which is used in the recipe for producing flowers and fruits round the year (ṣp󲹱-貹ٳپ), according to the ṛkṣҳܰ岹 by Sūrapāla (1000 CE): an encyclopedic work dealing with the study of trees and the principles of ancient Indian agriculture.—Accordingly: “A healthy seed of a properly ripened Mangifera indica should be soaked in the blood of a tortoise and a hare and then should be dried in the direct heat of the sun. After a month it should be planted in a pit, previously prepared as per the method described before. Thereafter it should be showered with the milk of a she-goat (ܲ). Then it blossoms into a tree with thousands of branches and produces lovely flowers and fruits round the year. This is no wonder�.
