Gadanigraha (गदनिग्रह).—The Gadanigraha of Soḍhala is an extensive text with its short seventh book dealing with poisons (viṣatantra). Meulenbeld assigns Soḍhala to around the year AD 1200, but does not describe the viṣatantra book in his summary of the text, except for noting that its first chapters agree with the last chapter of the Mādhavanidāna.

Shaiva (शैव, śaiva) or Shaivism (śaivism) represents a tradition of Hinduism worshiping Shiva as the supreme being. Closely related to Shaktism, Shaiva literature includes a range of scriptures, including Tantras, while the root of this tradition may be traced back to the ancient Vedas.

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.
