Jāṅgalapiśita (जाङ्गलपिशित) refers to “game-meat”, mentioned in verse 3.45 of the Aṣṭāṅgahṛdayasaṃhitā (Sūtrasthāna) by Vāgbhaṭa.—Accordingly, “[...] as the (humours and the gastric fire) irritate one another this way, one shall turn to all (substances) that (are) applicable to all humours and promotive of the (gastric) fire: a cathartic enema after one’s body has been purged (with a vomitive etc.), old grain, prepared soups, game-meat [viz., jāṅgalapiśita], broths, old wine and ariṣṭa liqueur [...]”.

Note: jāṅgalaṃ piśitam—“game-meat” has been simplified to skam-sai srog-chags (“jungle-animal, game”) and rendered dependent on yūṣa (“broth”), This points to a reading “jāṅgalapiśitaṃ yūṣaṃ” in the basic copy. The omission of piśita (“meat”) is not, however, absolutely certain inasmuch as &a might be taken for its equivalent then yūṣa would correspond only to khu instead of the ordinary śa-khu.
