Agnisambhava (अग्निसम्भव) refers to “that which is caused by fire” (e.g., diseases), as mentioned in verse 4.32 of the Aṣṭāṅgahṛdayasaṃhitā (Sūtrasthāna) by Vāgbhaṭa.—Accordingly, “[...] those which (are) caused by demons, poison, wind, fire [viz., agnisambhava], ruptures, fractures etc. and (include) passion, anger, fear etc. are the (so-called) accidental diseases [viz., āgantu-gada]”.

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
