Śarman (शर्मन्) refers to “comfort”, as mentioned in verse 4.29-31 of the Aṣṭāṅgahṛdayasaṃhitā (Sūtrasthāna) by Vāgbhaṭa.—Accordingly, “[...] If (a patient) has been debilitated by medicine, strengthening (him) gradually by food such as rice, sixty-day-old rice, wheat, mung-beans, meat, and ghee—(which), in combination with cardiac and stomachic remedies, (is) promotive of appetite and digestion—as well as by inunctions, massages, baths, and purgative and lubricant enemas (is) wholesome. Thus he recovers comfort [viz., śarman], intensity of all the fires, faultlessness of intellect, colour, and senses, potency, (and) longness of life”.

Note: Śarman (“comfort”) has been moved to the end of the series of objects and turned dpal daṅ gzi-mdaṅs (“happiness and vitality”), gzi-mdaṅs being a tautological expression either component of which corresponds to Sanskrit ojas; on this term see 2.15.
