Ahṛdya (अहृद्य) refers to that which is “unwholesome for the stomach”, as mentioned in verse 5.26-27 of the Aṣṭāṅgahṛdayasaṃhitā (Sūtrasthāna) by Vāgbhaṭa.—Accordingly, “[...] among the (different kinds of milk [viz., payas]), [...] unwholesome for the stomach [viz., ahṛdya], however, (and) warming is sheep’s milk [viz., āvika] (it is) eliminative of wind-diseases (and) productive of hiccup, dyspnea, choler, and phlegm”.

Note: Ahṛdya (“unwholesome for the stomach”) has been rendered by sñiṅ gnod (“damages the stomach”); as in vv. 1 & 10, hṛd ought to be understood in the sense of “stomach” rather than “heart”, which does not fit the context.
