Snānaśīla (स्नानशील) refers to “having bathing as custom”, and is mentioned in verse 2.31 of the Aṣṭāṅgahṛdayasaṃhitā (Sūtrasthāna) by Vāgbhaṭa.—Accordingly, “[...] fond of bathing [viz., snānaśīla], well-perfumed, well-clad, (and) not extravagant (but) brilliant (in trinkets): one shall always wear jewels, effective charms, and sovereign remedies.”.

Note: Snānaśīla, lit. “having bathing as custom”, has been rendered by khrus-la dga-(-ba)—“delighted at bathing”, which is indeed the underlying sense (“fond of bathing”: MW p. 1267).—brus in C is an error.

context information

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
