Ś쾱īٲԳٰ (शाकिनीतन्त्र) is the name of a work related to Ayurveda and medicine referenced by the �cikitsa bidhane tantrasastra”—a Bengali work authored by ‘Krishna Chaitanya Thakur� in three volumes dealing with the treatments for diseases and disorders collected from Tantric and Ayurvedic texts.—Eastern India is one of the major strongholds of Tantrism in South Asia, and this region, particularly Bengal, has played and still plays a prominent role in the development of Āyurveda. It is indeed a fact that much medically relevant material is to be found in [the Ś쾱īٲԳٰ, or other] Tantric texts. The �cikitsā bidhāne tantraśāstra� (by Kṛṣṇacaitanya Ṭhākur) contains wealth of medicines and remedies for a large variety of diseases and disorders, arranged according to the individual diseases or disorders. The material presented is culled from a variety of texts [e.g., ś쾱īٲԳٰ], [most of which] seem to be classed as Tantric, but some are quite obviously not so, though their material may be related to that to be found in Tantric texts.
