Source: Shodhganga: Kasyapa Samhita—Text on Visha ChikitsaMaraṇaprada (मरणप्रद) refers to “that (snake-bite) which brings death”, as taught in the Damśarūpa (“aspects of snake-bites”) section of the Kāśyapa Saṃhitā: an ancient Sanskrit text from the Pāñcarātra tradition dealing with both Tantra and Viṣacikitsā—an important topic from Āyurveda which deals with the study of Toxicology (Agadatantra or Sarpavidyā).—The author discusses conditions under which snakes bite, types of fangs and bites, vital spots of bite which can be fatal, stages of envenomation and astrological considerations for snake-bite effect. In general, one or two bites cause wound with saliva. One bite is not poisonous. Two bites can be treated with mantra; poison caused by the bites can be cured by medicine. Four bites means, positively fatal [e.g., maraṇaprada].
