In Hinduism

Shaivism (Shaiva philosophy)

: eScholarship: G膩ru岣峚 Medicine (艣aivism)

Agadatantra (啶呧啶︵い啶ㄠ啶む啶�) refers to 鈥渢reatise on antidotes鈥� according to the Su艣rutasa峁僪it膩 regarding the topic of poisons.鈥擳he Su艣rutasa峁僪it膩, which has its entire Kalpa蝉迟丑腻苍补 section devoted to the topic of poisons, does not know either word [viz., 蝉补谤辫补惫颈诲测腻 and 惫颈峁惫补颈诲测补] and rather uses the term 惫颈峁肠颈办颈迟蝉腻 (poison-medicine), agadatantra (treatise on antidotes), or 惫颈峁迟补苍迟谤补 (treatise on poisons). The latter two are perhaps the most broad and fitting. However, agadatantra is rarely used in other texts. Both agadatantra and 惫颈峁迟补苍迟谤补 nominally exclude topics covered in the G膩ru岣峚 Tantras.

context information

Shaiva (啶多啶�, 艣aiva) or Shaivism (艣aivism) represents a tradition of Hinduism worshiping Shiva as the supreme being. Closely related to Shaktism, Shaiva literature includes a range of scriptures, including Tantras, while the root of this tradition may be traced back to the ancient Vedas.

Toxicology (Study and Treatment of poison)

: Shodhganga: Kasyapa Samhita鈥擳ext on Visha Chikitsa

Agadatantra (啶呧啶︵い啶ㄠ啶む啶�) refers to the 鈥渁ncient Indian science that alleviates the effects of poison鈥�.鈥擵edas are the fountain-head of all our knowledge and culture.

Tradition has it that Brahm膩 himself expounded the 蝉补谤辫补惫颈诲测腻 to sage Ka艣yapa.

The K膩艣yapa Sa峁僪it膩 lists out 13 aspects of Agadatantra鈥�

names of the Sarpas,
birth,
kind of bites,
cause of bites,
effect of the bite on the victim,
force of the poison,
the marma (bitten spot) of the body,
诲奴迟补濒补办峁峁嘺 (features of the messenger),
蝉迟丑腻苍补 (location where the bite occures),
惫腻谤腻诲颈办补-迟颈迟丑颈 (date),

苍补办峁迟谤补 (asterism) and
艣补办耻苍补 (omen).
