Pāriyātraja (पारियात्रज) refers to “coming from the Pāriyātra” (viz., waters, i.e., rivers), as mentioned in verse 5.11-12 of the Aṣṭāṅgahṛdayasaṃhitā (Sūtrasthāna) by Vāgbhaṭa.—Accordingly, “[...] (those) [rivers, viz., nadī] again springing from the Sahya and Vindhya; [produce] leprosy, jaundice, and diseases of the head; (those) coming from the Pāriyātra [viz., pāriyātraja] (are) destructive of the (three) humours (and) promotive of strength and virility”.

Note: Pāriyātraja (“coming from the Pāriyātra”) has been rendered by means of a possessive genitive: pa-ri-ya-trai (“of, from, the Pāriyātra”.
