Āmapīnasa (आमपीनस) refers to a medicinal condition while both āma and pīnasa are mentioned separately in verse 5.17 of the Aṣṭāṅgahṛdayasaṃhitā (Sūtrasthāna) by Vāgbhaṭa.—Āma (“rawness, indigestion”) has been omitted and the following pīnasa (“catarrh”) represented by cham sar (“new, raw, catarrh”).

From this it would appear that the Tibetans, on the strength of Candranandana’s commentary, took āmapīnasa for one term—a possibility also conceded by Aruṇadatta: “kecit tv āmapīnasa iti pīnasa-viśeṣaṇam, āmaśabdam āhuḥ”—“some say (that) in āmapīnasa the word āma is an attribute of pīnasa”. Vāgbhaṭa does not mention any such disease [viz., āmapīnasa] in the relevant chapters (Aṣṭāṅgahṛdayasaṃhitā VI.19 & 20, Aṣṭāṅgahṛdayasaṃhitā VI.23 & 24)...

Bhāvamiśra (Bhāvamiśra’s Bhāvaprakāśa II.4.18.34) defines [āmapīnasa] as follows:

“Heaviness of the head, anorexia, running of the nose, low voice, (one is) weak and spits constantly—(that is) the syndrome of āmapīnasa”.

context information

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.
