Source: archive.org: Vagbhata’s Ashtanga Hridaya Samhita (first 5 chapters)Pīnasa (पीनस) refers to “catarrh”, mentioned in verse 4.17 and 5.17, 31 of the Aṣṭāṅgahṛdayasaṃhitā (Sūtrasthāna) by Vāgbhaṭa.—Accordingly, “[...] catarrh [viz., pīnasa], pain in the eyes, the head, and the heart, stiffness of the neck, anorexia, and giddiness—along with visceral induration— (result) from (suppressed) tears. In this case sleep, liquor, (and) cheerful words (are wholesome)”.
Note (verse 5.17): Āma (“rawness, indigestion”) has been omitted and the following pīnasa (“catarrh”) represented by cham sar (“new, raw, catarrh”). From this it would appear that the Tibetans, on the strength of Candranandana’s commentary, took āmapīnasa for one term—a possibility also conceded by Aruṇadatta: [...].

The Yogasārasaṃgraha [mentioning pīnasa] deals with entire recipes in the route of administration, and thus deals with the knowledge of pharmacy (bhaiṣajya-kalpanā) which is a branch of pharmacology (dravyaguṇa).
Āyurveda (आयुर्वेद, ayurveda) is a branch of Indian science dealing with medicine, herbalism, taxology, anatomy, surgery, alchemy and related topics. Traditional practice of Āyurveda in ancient India dates back to at least the first millenium BC. Literature is commonly written in Sanskrit using various poetic metres.
