Asṛṅmaṇḍalī (असृङ्मण्डली) refers to one of the sixteen varieties of Maṇḍalī snakes, according to the Kāśyapa Saṃhitā: an ancient Sanskrit text from the Pāñcarātra tradition dealing with both Tantra and Viṣacikitsā—an important topic from Āyurveda which deals with the study of Toxicology (Viṣavidyā or Sarpavidyā).—Kāśyapa sources his antidotes from a multitude plants, a few minerals, salts and animal products available in nature. All these plants fall under various groups called gaṇas, as pronounced by the Ayurvedic Nigaṇṭus.

Symptoms of Asṛṅmaṇḍalī snake-bite: Profuse bleeding from mouth, nose and stomach. Lethargy, foul smell, dejection, unsteadiness and wakeful state.

Treatment of Asṛṅmaṇḍalī snake-bite: A lehya (paste for licking) of Kuṣṭha, curd, Trikaṭu, salt, buttermilk and honey must be given to the victim. A powder of the root of Nīlī and Neem tree must be mixed with water and drink. The same can be boiled and taken as decoction or paste of neem bark and milk can be used as pāna and lepa. Lepa or ointment made from the roots of Punarnāvā Ambaṣṭhā, Musalā and Kimśuka mixed with cowdung must be applied. Milk of latex yeilding trees boiled with white grains (rice) must be given after it cools down. Cool drinks arrest the poison of Asṛṅmaṇḍalī snakes.
