Taṇḍulodaka (तण्डुलोदक) refers to “water with rice” and is used in the treatment of Maṇḍalī-snake-bites, 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 Kāśyapasaṃhitā verse IX.66-7 prescribe an effective generic cure for constipation and obstructed urination, caused by snake bite—water with rice (taṇḍulodaka) mixed with the bile of frog must be applied under the navel. The powdered root of Piṇḍālapatrika mixed with cold water must be smeared on the stomach. These two procedures effectively address both the problems, resulting in immediate urination and expulsion of feaces from the system.
