Sadyaḥśuddha (सद्यःशुद्ध) refers to a “recently purged man”, as mentioned in verse 5.17 of the Aṣṭāṅgahṛdayasaṃhitā (Sūtrasthāna) by Vāgbhaṭa.—Accordingly, “[...] hot (water is) promotive (and) causative of digestion, conducive to the throat, light (on the stomach, and) purgative of the bladder; it is commended for hiccup, inflation, wind, phlegm, a recently purged (man) [viz., sadyaḥśuddha], new fever, cough, indigestion, catarrh, dyspnea, and pain in the costal region”.

Note: Instead of sadyaḥśuddha (“recently purged”), the Tibetans write ’phral-du zlog byed-ciṅ (“immediately expelling feces”), which makes it virtually certain that they had the variant sadyaḥśuddhi (“immediate purgation”) before them.
