Source: Shodhganga: Kasyapa Samhita—Text on Visha ChikitsaViṣabhaiṣajya (विषभैषज्य) or Viṣabhaiṣajyasūkta is the name of a section of the Atharva-Veda.—Vedas are the fountain-head of all our knowledge and culture. Hence, it is but inevitable that Toxicology or Opiliatry, variously reckoned as Agadatantra, Daṃṣṭratantra, Sarpavidyā, Viṣavidyā, Gāruḍīvidyā, Jāṅgala etc. is also sourced from the Ṛgveda and Atharvaveda. Atharvaveda (VII.56.1) (known as Viṣabhaiṣajya-sūkta) alludes to a herb which cures the poison of black snakes and also the poison called kaṅkaparva.

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.
