Ratnoṣadhi (रत्नोषधि) refers to a certain hymn which is recited as part of a Newar ritual, according to the Daśakarmavidhi which details on the most common rules to be followed by the Newar priests, the priest’s clients, or the clan’s oldest men or women who are mostly ritually responsible for the ritual, and the individual(s) for whom the life-cycle ritual is performed.—Accordingly, the Ratnoṣadhi is as follows:—“I salute the sacred vase which is full with water from all the religious places, which is decorated with many leaves (and flowery garlands), which is the object of sacrifice in a sacrificial ritual, which is eulogised by the sages (and) which has the presence of Śiva and Śakti”.
