Source: archive.org: Vagbhata’s Ashtanga Hridaya Samhita (first 5 chapters)Pañcakola (पञ्चकोल) refers to “five spices”, mentioned in verse 3.46 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: [...] whey richly mixed with sochal salt or besprinkled with powder of the five spices [viz., pañcakola], rain-water, well-water, and boiled water; in very bad weather, however, food”.
Note: By pañcakola (“the five spices”) are meant long pepper (pippalī), long-pepper roots (pippalīmūla) , elephant pepper (cavya), plumbago (citraka), and dry ginger (nāgara). Instead of lṅai CD offer lṅa ni, which is probably corrupt for lṅa-yi.
