Source: Shodhganga: Kasyapa Samhita—Text on Visha ChikitsaViṣaghnopaniṣad (विषघ्नोपनिषद्) is the name of a section of the Ṛgveda uttered by Agastya.—Vedas are the fountain-head of all our knowledge and culture. Hence, it is but inevitable that Toxicology or Opiliatry, variously reckoned as Agadatantra, Daṃṣṭratantra, Sarpavidyā, Viṣavidyā, Gāruḍīvidyā, Jāṅgala etc. is also sourced from the Ṛgveda and Atharvaveda. The Sūkta 190 of the first Maṇḍala of the Ṛgveda popularly known as Viṣaghnopaniṣad, has been uttered by Agastya. When he suspected that he had been poisoned by some species (venomous, slightly venomous or venomous aquatic worm), he composed this so as to cure himself of it. The silent reiteration of the Sūkta is said to work as an effective antidote against all venoms of the reptiles and insects as well as sthāvara-viṣa.
Āyurveda (आयुर्वेद, ayurveda) is a branch of Indian science dealing with medicine, herbalism, taxology, anatomy, surgery, alchemy and related topics. Traditional practice of Āyurveda in ancient India dates back to at least the first millenium BC. Literature is commonly written in Sanskrit using various poetic metres.
