Pīnasa (पीनस) refers to “sinusitis” and is one of the various diseases mentioned in the 15th-century Yogasārasaṅgraha (Yogasara-saṅgraha) by Vāsudeva: an unpublished Keralite work representing an Ayurvedic compendium of medicinal recipes. 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).

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: [...].
