Source: archive.org: Catalogue of Pancaratra Agama Texts (ay)Viṃśatividhanānāviṣacikitsā (विंशतिविधनानाविषचिकित्सा) (lit. “20 categories of various poisons and their treatments”) is the name of the twelfth chapter of the Kāśyapasaṃhita: a Pāñcarātra Āgama text composed of 13 chapters dealing with snake-bites, poisons and curing their venom by use of the garuḍamantra while also dealing with worship and devotion. Description of the chapter [viṃśatividhanānāviṣacikitsā]:—This chapter turns to spiders, scorpions, dogs, donkeys, horses, tigers, fish, small insects, etc.—their varieties, and the treatment of the poisons and infections that come from their bites or stings (1-42). The remainder of the chapter deals with reactions, allergies and poisons—and their treatments—that arise from such items as seeds, leaves, nuts, fruits, etc. (43-62). The next śloka (63) summarizes that there are eight kinds of alternative remedial treatments to be considered in treating any serious wound or bite: burning out the wound with a hot iron, cutting the wound to make it deeper (drainage), applying ointment, etc. The closing lines (64-66) counsel some rules of thumb for dosages of the medicines described in the preceding chapters.
