Source: Shodhganga: Kasyapa Samhita—Text on Visha ChikitsaSṛṣṭvā (सृष्ट्वा) refers to “(having) created” (medicines), 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 posits that the collection or gathering of medicinal herbs must be done in a specified manner, accompanied by japa or prayer. If plucked without the relevant prayers or mantras, the medicines are liable to lose their potency which is paramount for effective treatment and complete remedy of any ailment. The Creator created (sṛṣṭvā) people and also the medicines to safeguard and protect humanity. He also created the moon to protect the medicinal potency of the flora.
