Taṇḍrika (तण्ड्रिक) is mentioned as a synonym for “fever” (Jvara), according to the Tridoṣaja-Prakaraṇa section of the Jvaranirṇaya: an Ayurvedic manuscript dealing exclusively with types of jvara (fevers) written by Sri Nārāyaṇa Paṇḍita in the 16th century CE.—The author mentions that the Tridoṣajaprakaraṇa section is similar to the explanations of Vāgbhaṭa. Names and symptoms of jvara which are uncommon such as Taṇḍrika are mentioned.

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.
