Source: archive.org: Vagbhata’s Ashtanga Hridaya Samhita (first 5 chapters)Candanārdra (चन्दनार्द्र) refers to “moist with sandal”, mentioned in verse 3.38 of the Aṣṭāṅgahṛdayasaṃhitā (Sūtrasthāna) by Vāgbhaṭa.—Accordingly, “[...] And on a moonbeam-flooded palace-roof garden (one shall fix) at night one’s bedstead. From him whose mind is at ease, (who is) moist with sandal [viz., candanārdra] (and) adorned with garlands, by whom the manual of love has been put aside, (and) whose clothes are very thin and fine”.
Note: Candanārdra (“moist with sandal”) and mālin (“adorned with garlands”) have been joined together into a single phrase: tsan-dan lde-gu (’)phreṅ-ba thogs—“sporting sandal ointment (and) garlands”. On the spelling of tsan-dan, see v. 20.
