Vaidyaka-prayoga-saṃgraha

The manuscript, marked in the margin with the abbreviation “Vai.dya.” (probably denoting Vaidya), appears to belong to the tradition of Ayurvedic practical literature. The text combines Sanskrit verses with vernacular explanations and contains instructions concerning the collection and application of medicinal plants under specific lunar mansions (nakṣatras), together with various therapeutic and protective practices. Plants such as Viṣṇukrāntā, Bhṛṅgarāja, Balā, Sahadevī, Śvetāparājitā, Āmalakī, Abhayā, Kṛṣṇā (Pippalī), and Citraka are mentioned in connection with remedies for fever, disorders caused by phlegm, and other ailments. Certain passages also describe ritual and magical applications intended to secure protection, influence, or enhancement of bodily strength. The manuscript thus represents a compendium of Ayurvedic recipes and medico-magical practices, incorporating both classical and vernacular elements. In the absence of a colophon, the exact title and authorship remain uncertain.
