Source: archive.org: Vagbhata’s Ashtanga Hridaya Samhita (first 5 chapters)Drākṣāstabaka (द्राक्षास्तबक) refers to a “bunch of grapes”, mentioned in verse 3.34 of the Aṣṭāṅgahṛdayasaṃhitā (Sūtrasthāna) by Vāgbhaṭa.—Accordingly, “[...] In groves in which the hot-rayed one is darkened by cloud-grazing huge Sal trees and Palmyra palms, (and which are) profuse in bunches of grapes [viz., drākṣāstabaka] clinging to spring-flowers in a rest-house in which (are found) plenty of cloths besprinkled with fragrant cold water, [...]”.
Note: mādhavīśliṣṭa (“clinging to spring-flowers”) has been separated from, and interchanged with, drākṣāstabaka-śālin (“profuse in bunches of grapes”), and has been rendered more freely by ’khri-śiṅ daṅ ldan (“endowed with creepers”). The term mādhavī (from mādhava) (“spring-flower”) denotes a species of creepers alternatively called atimuktaka and generally identified as Hiptage madablota Gabbtn.—For daṅ ldan CD read ldan daṅ, which does not make sense here.
