Source: archive.org: Vagbhata’s Ashtanga Hridaya Samhita (first 5 chapters)Pittāsra (पित्तास्र) refers to “hemorrhage”, as mentioned in verse 5.15-16 of the Aṣṭāṅgahṛdayasaṃhitā (Sūtrasthāna) by Vāgbhaṭa.—Accordingly, “[...] normal, fat, and lean (respectively get) those who drink water during, after, and before meals. Cold water removes alcoholism, lassitude, stupor, nausea, fatigue, giddiness, thirst, heat through hot (factors), hemorrhage [viz., pittāsra], and poison”.
Note: Pittāsra (“bile-blood, hemorrhage”) has been rendered mkhris-pa daṅ khrag brgyas—“profuse bile and blood, profuse hemorrhage”. Perhaps the basic text read basic text read tṛṣṇoṣṇādhikapittāsra०, in which case uṣṇa, would correspond to lus thsa and adhika to brgyas. For brgyas, which recurs in Suvarṇaprabhāsasūtra p. 86.23 as the pendant pūrṇa (“replete”), CDP have substituted the commoner rgyas.
