Kalpa (Formulas, Drug prescriptions and other Medicinal preparations)

: Ancient Science of Life: Yogaśataka of Pandita Vararuci

Ā (आम) refers to “undigested food particle� (immature ٳ), and is dealt with in the 10th century Yogaśataka (stanza 102) written by Pandita Vararuci.—It has been told that “only after examining hetu (causative factors) and ṣaṇa (sign and symptoms) of disease thoroughly, treatment should be prescribed. And any kind of drug or treatment can cure the disease if it is applied in Ծ峾 (devoid of Ā) condition�. Thus author [Vararuci] gave more importance to Ā than drugs.

Decoction of śṇṭ, ܲ, پṣ� and ḍūcī is indicated for Ի岵Ծ (low digestive power), 峾ٲ, ṇ� (sprue) and diseases caused by . It is also known as ٳܰ󲹻 decoction in Śrṅgadhara-saṃhit. The famous 󲹱ٰ徱 decoction which is available in 䲹첹-ṃh is also described using the same words.

Ā (आम) or Ājīrṇa refers to indigestion (īṇa) due to (undigested part of the chyle giving rise to mucus), as defined in the fourth volume of the Rasajalanidhi (chapter 4).—Symptoms of 峾-jīrṇa:—“heaviness of the body, nausea, swelling of the cheeks and pupils of the eyes, belching of wind having the same taste as the food taken, which remains in the stomach, long undigested. [...] The three kinds of indigestion, viz. , ṣṭ, and vidagdha, give rise to ūī, alasaka, and 𳦳پ�.

Ā (आम) is a Sanskrit technical term, translating to an “unripe� fruit. It is used throughout Ayurvedic literature such as the śܳٲ-ṃh and the 䲹첹-ṃh.

: Google Books: Essentials of Ayurveda

Ā (आम):—The concept of 峾 is quite peculiar to Āyurveda. Ā is immature Rasa caused by diminished agni prone to produce pathological syndromes. It is, in fact, endotoxin produced by incomplete digestion or transformation of edibles or metabolites due to diminished agni at respective levels. Ā associates in the process of pathogenesis (ṃpپ) by combining with ṣa and ūṣy and exhibits its characteristic symptoms.

: archive.org: Vagbhata’s Ashtanga Hridaya Samhita (first 5 chapters)

1) Ā (आम) (cf. 峾īԲ) refers to “indigestion�, as mentioned in verse 5.17 of the ṣṭṅgṛdⲹṃh (Sūtrasthna) by 岵ṭa.—Accordingly, “[...] hot (water is) promotive (and) causative of digestion, conducive to the throat, light (on the stomach, and) purgative of the bladder; it is commended for hiccup, inflation, wind, phlegm, a recently purged (man), new fever, cough, indigestion [viz., ], catarrh, dyspnea, and pain in the costal region�.

Note: Ā (“rawness, indigestion�) has been omitted and the following īԲ (“catarrh�) represented by cham sar (“new, raw, catarrh�). From this it would appear that the Tibetans, on the strength of Candranandana’s commentary, took 峾īԲ for one term—a possibility also conceded by Aruṇadatta: [...].

2) Ā (आम) also refers to “raw milk�, as mentioned in verse 5.28-29.—Accordingly, “[...] among the (different kinds of milk [viz., payas]), [...] raw [viz., ] milk (is) causative of effluxions (and) heavy, properly boiled one different from this; very heavy is (milk that has been) excessively boiled; (that which is still) warm from milking (is) nectar-like�.

: Hand book of domestic medicine: Basic principles of Āyurveda

Ā has been defined as

1) Undigested or semi-digested food.

2) Mala-Sañcaya (the accumulation of excretions).

3) First vitiation of Doṣa.

Generally, it is produced by diminished power of digestive juices (Mandgni), but it may also form at other levels of the Agni i.e. Bhūtgni and Dhtvagni. In short, Ā may be produced at any level of digestion and metabolism. It is also a frequent cause of the diseases. Great stress has been laid in Āyurveda on correction of the digestion.

: gurumukhi.ru: Ayurveda glossary of terms

Ā (आम):�1. Raw, uncooked, unbaked, immature, unripe 2. May be associated with food or other physiological entities to mean incomplete transformation or metabolism causing a harmful effect on health.
