岵DZ貹徱ṣaṇa (नागोपद्रवादिलक्ष�) (lit. “the symptoms of snake-poisoning�) is the name of the fourth chapter of the śⲹ貹ṃhٲ: a Pāñcarātra Āgama text composed of 13 chapters dealing with snake-bites, poisons and curing their venom by use of the ḍaԳٰ while also dealing with worship and devotion.

Description of the chapter [岵DZ貹徱ṣaṇa]:—Gautama asks to know about the protection from the speedy reactions of poisons. Kaśyapa replies that there are five kinds of poisons � namely, ٳ屹, Ჹṅg, ṛt, grahaja and śṅk屹ṣa. [In regard to the second kind?] He then goes into detailed analysis of various kinds or species of snakes—classifying them into caste-categories, according to their habitat (heavenly, mundane, sea, underworld, etc.), and so forth (1-43).

Only then does he turn to the kinds of poisons which come from snakes, and these he classifies according to the circumstances which prevailed when the victim was bitten. In this regard, there are eight kinds of bites, ranging from minor to deadly (44-75)—in the course of which, for example, he discusses the ten stages of the poison's fatal action on the human body from the hair standing on end, through thirst, sweating, coughing, burning sensation, paralysis, ( drooling ? ), delirium, coma, to death (55-57a). Since all things are interconnected in this world, even the most minute elements connected with the snake-bite incident have their bearing upon the victim’s recovery—even such matters as the physical and moral qualities of the messenger sent for a doctor must be considered, as well as whatever omens this messenger might on his way for help encounter (76-110).
