: Shodhganga: Kasyapa Samhita—Text on Visha ChikitsaMud is used in the treatment of Maṇḍalī-snake-bites, according to the Kśyapa Saṃhit: an ancient Sanskrit text from the Pñcartra tradition dealing with both Tantra and Viṣacikits—an important topic from Āyurveda which deals with the study of Toxicology (Viṣavidy or Sarpavidy).—The Kśyapasaṃhit chapter 9 hint at the current trends in medication which use anti-bodies in treating poison. The Text mentions that the snake be killed, opened up and kept safely in mud. After a certain time, the mud becomes as potent as the snake. The mud , along with its bones must be powdered and kept in a vessel , made into a paste and applied to the victim bitten by Maṇḍalī snake.

Traditional practice of Āyurveda in ancient India dates back to at least the first millenium BC. Literature is commonly written in Sanskrit using various poetic metres.
