Nālikelajala (नालिकेलजल) refers to “coconut water” (suitable for offerings) used in the treatment of (serpent) venom, as described in 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 (Viṣavidyā or Sarpavidyā).—The decoded mantras are for those aspirants who may use it under the guidance of an able / qualified preceptor after due procedures of initiation or dīkṣā. Regarding the Gulika-viṣaharaṇa-mantra (VII. 25-7 ab) it says: “[...] The sarpamantra must be chanted for three ayuta times from the aṣṭamī or eighth day of the bright fortnight, with offerings of rice-flour mixed with jaggery and coconut water (nālikelajala) and barly. This eliminates the poison of Seṣa clan of serpents. The mantra must be chanted with devotion like one’s own name with the prescribed nyāsas. Thus, an intelligent aspirant can effortlessly cure venoms”.
