Prāṇaviyoga (प्राणवियोग) refers to “dead persons” (killed by poison), according to the Kāśyapa Saṃhitā: an ancient Sanskrit text from the Pāñcarātra tradition dealing with both Tantra and Viṣacikitsā—an important topic from Āyurveda which deals with the study of Toxicology (Viṣavidyā or Sarpavidyā).—Kāśyapa prescribes various antidotes to quell the poison by administering them through nasal drugs, collyrium, ointment, herbal drinks and diet. According to Kāśyapasaṃhitā (verse VIII.13)—“The root of white variety of Arka, the inner filaments of Girikarṇikā (śyāmādi gaṇa) and a pod of garlic, if given as nasal snuff or powder can even revive a person (prāṇaviyoga-kāla) all but killed by the poison of Vāsuki’s bite”.
