Koṣṇa (कोष्ण) refers to “lukewarm (water)”, according to the Kāśyapa Saṃhitā: an ancient Sanskrit text from the Pāñcarātra tradition dealing with both Tantra and Viṣacikitsā—an important topic from Āyurveda which deals with the study of Toxicology (Viṣavidyā or Sarpavidyā).—The tenth Adhyāya prescribes antidotes for Rājilā snake venom.—According to the Kāśyapasaṃhitā verse X.25: “Four to five handful or morsels of Turmeric, Vegā and root powdered with a pestle must be boiled with a quarter measure of water. This must be used as Taila or oil. Vegāsthi Taila must be smeared on the victim. The same can be mixed with lukewarm (koṣṇa) water  and the victim be bathed with it. This effectively alleviates the poison [koṣṇena snāpayet tena toyena viṣaśāntaye]”.
