Ghanātyaya (घनात्यय) refers to the “disappearance of clouds”, as mentioned in verse 4.35 of the Aṣṭāṅgahṛdayasaṃhitā (Sūtrasthāna) by Vāgbhaṭa.—Accordingly, “[...] (by) quickly (and) properly purging in spring the accumulation of humours produced in the cold (season), in the cloudy season (that) caused in summer, (and) at the disappearance of clouds [viz., ghanātyaya] (that) formed in the rainy season: one never catches the diseases (usually) caused in (these) seasons”.

Note: vasante—“in spring” has been rendered by dpyid-kyi thse (“in springtime”), abhrakāle (“in the cloudy season”) by dbyar dus-na (“in the rainy season”), and ghanātyaye (“at the disappearance of clouds”) by sprin bral dus-su (“at the time of the dissolution of clouds”), each of the three locatives being represented in a different way, namely, by an accusative, locative, and terminative (see 3.7). This apparently intended variation contrasts strongly with the quadruple use of ’byuṅ-ba.

context information

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
