Source: archive.org: Vagbhata’s Ashtanga Hridaya Samhita (first 5 chapters)Doṣaghna (दोषघ्न) refers to “destructive of the (three) humours”, as mentioned in verse 5.12 of the Aṣṭāṅgahṛdayasaṃhitā (Sūtrasthāna) by Vāgbhaṭa.—Accordingly, “[...] (those) [rivers, viz., nadī] again springing from the Sahya and Vindhya; [produce] leprosy, jaundice, and diseases of the head; (those) coming from the Pāriyātra (are) destructive of the (three) humours [viz., doṣaghna] (and) promotive of strength and virility”.
Note: Doṣaghna (“destructive of the three humours”) has been interchanged with pāriyātraja and paraphrased by nad kun sel (“remove all diseases”).
