Viṣavaidyasārasamuccaya (विषवैद्यसारसमुच्चय).—The Viṣavaidyasārasamuccaya (“collection of the essential teachings of viṣavaidya”) may be the most recent Sanskrit composition on the topic of curing poison. It was written by Cherukulappurath Krishnan Namboodiri from Kerala (1879–1966). The introduction by Ashtavaidyan Vaidyamathom Valiya Narayanan Namboodiri (translated from the 1961 Malayalam edition) says that the pūrvārdha treats viṣavijñāna (here “theory of poisons”) whereas the uttarārdha treats viṣacikitsā (“curing of poison”).
