[...] The preparations referred to in Vedas wherein Soma was mixed were karaṃbha, dhāna, apūpa, pakti, saktu, water and honey. The usage of soma can also be seen in the texts of classical Sanskrit literature. Drinking soma juice was referred to in Uttararamacarita.
Unclassified Ayurveda definitions
Source: archive.org: Vagbhata’s Ashtanga Hridaya Samhita (first 5 chapters)Pakti (पक्ति) refers to “digestion”, as mentioned in verse 4.29-31 of the Aṣṭāṅgahṛdayasaṃhitā (Sūtrasthāna) by Vāgbhaṭa.—Accordingly, “[...] If (a patient) has been debilitated by medicine, strengthening (him) gradually by food such as rice, sixty-day-old rice, wheat, mung-beans, meat, and ghee—(which), in combination with cardiac and stomachic remedies, (is) promotive of appetite and digestion [viz., ruci-pakti-da]—as well as by inunctions, massages, baths, and purgative and lubricant enemas (is) wholesome. Thus he recovers comfort, intensity of all the fires, faultlessness of intellect, colour, and senses, potency, (and) longness of life”.
Note: ruti-pakti-da (“promotive of appetite and digestion”) has been represented by yi-ga ’byed-ciṅ ’ju byed (“that which opens appetite and causes digestion”), that is substantially, “appetizers and digestives”.—For ’byed-ciṅ NP have substituted the intransitive ’bye-źin, which is less suitable here; bźu (for ’ju) in N seems to be a mistake.
