: archive.org: Vagbhata鈥檚 Ashtanga Hridaya Samhita (first 5 chapters)艢补艣腻峁卥补办颈谤补峁嘺 (啶多ざ啶距啷嵿啶曕た啶班ぃ) refers to 鈥渕oon-beams鈥�, mentioned in verse 3.32 of the 础峁ａ弓腻峁単补丑峁沝补测补蝉补峁僪颈迟腻 (S奴trasth膩na) by 痴腻驳产丑补峁璦.鈥擜ccordingly, 鈥淸...] One shall drink broth (that is) not too thick, 谤补蝉腻濒腻, curds, raga and 办丑腻峁囜笉补惫补 syrup, [...] and water [viz., ambhas] (that is) perfumed with trumpet-flowers, charged with camphor, (and) very cold. Taking at night moonbeams as food, one shall drink, [...闭鈥�.
Note: 艣补艣腻峁卥补办颈谤补峁嘺 bhak峁膩n bhak峁yan (鈥渢aking moonbeams as food鈥�) has been rendered by zla-zer lta-bui bza-ba bza-ba da峁�鈥斺�渨ith taking food (that is) like moonbeams鈥�, the cognate accusative having been retained.鈥擬oonbeams are defined by Indu, who again cites an unknown authority, as follows:鈥斺�淟umps out of bamboo manna, flour, and sugar candy mixed with wheat and millet (and) thrown into milk thickened by boiling (are) called 鈥榤oonbeams鈥� [viz., 艣补艣腻峁卥补办颈谤补峁嘺闭鈥�.
On what grounds the dish is named (鈥渕oonbeams鈥�) in Sanskrit and to what way it can be characterized as 鈥渕oonbeam-like鈥� in Tibetan is not clear from this definition. More light is cast on the problem by Aru峁嘺datta and Candranandana, who identify the dish as some camphor preparation called 鈥渃amphor tubes鈥� (办补谤辫耻谤补苍腻岣峣办腻, also spelt 办补谤辫奴谤补苍腻濒颈办腻) that is described in Bh膩vami艣ra鈥檚 Bh膩vaprak膩艣a I.2.2.106 sqq.; camphor, however, is often metaphorically expressed by words literally meaning 鈥渕oon鈥� (see MW s. vv. candra, soma, indu, vidhu, etc.), while the analogy between 鈥渢ubes鈥� and 鈥渂eams鈥� is too obvious to require elaboration.
膧yurveda (啶嗋く啷佮ぐ啷嵿さ啷囙う, ayurveda) is a branch of Indian science dealing with medicine, herbalism, taxology, anatomy, surgery, alchemy and related topics. Traditional practice of 膧yurveda in ancient India dates back to at least the first millenium BC. Literature is commonly written in Sanskrit using various poetic metres.
