Source: archive.org: Vagbhata’s Ashtanga Hridaya Samhita (first 5 chapters)Niśākarakara (निशाकरकर) refers to “moonbeams”, mentioned in verse 3.34-36 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, [...] (there) one shall sleep at noon when pained by the heat of the sun; or in a bath-house which cuscus-water is flowing from the breasts, hands, and mouth of a modelled woman. And on a moonbeam-flooded [viz., niśākarakara-ākīrṇa] palace-roof garden (one shall fix) at night”.
Note: niśākarakara-ākīrṇa (“flooded by moonbeams”) has been interchanged with niśāsu (“at night”) and rendered freely by zla-bai od-kyis bsil-ba—“cooled by moonbeams”.
