Viṣahṛt (विषहृत्) refers to “that which removes poison”, according to the Kāśyapa Saṃhitā: an ancient Sanskrit text from the Pāñcarātra tradition dealing with both Tantra and Viṣacikitsā, which represents the Ayurvedic study on Toxicology (Viṣavidyā or Sarpavidyā).—Accordingly, one of the treatments is mentioned as follows: “Exhalation of warm goat-milk and ghee well cooked/boiled in a Bell-metal vessel removes vāta (cold) and poison (viṣahṛt). The same can be taken to treat other kinds of poisoning which affect the hands and stomach”.
