Kṣatajakṣaraṇa (क्षतजक्षरण) refers to “bleeding” (i.e., “the oozing of blood” after inflicting wounds), as taught in the Damśarūpa (“aspects of snake-bites”) section of the Kāśyapa Saṃhitā: an ancient Sanskrit text from the Pāñcarātra tradition dealing with both Tantra and Viṣacikitsā—an important topic from Āyurveda which deals with the study of Toxicology (Agadatantra or Sarpavidyā).—Explaining in a scientific manner, the sage Kāśyapa in his Kāśyapasaṃhitā proceeds to demonstrate the correct methods of ascertaining death. If a snake-bite victim does not have horripilation when sprinkled with water, there are no marks on his person when beaten with a cane, when there is no bleeding (kṣatajakṣaraṇa) despite inflicting a cut in the body and the body does not float when immersed in water, one can discern that it is a case of death.
