Iṅgilīkam

Iṅgilīkam

Grammar: the word as the Telugu print gives it (ఇంగిలీకము).

Meaning: an ingredient of the first remedy for poison in the blood.

In the scriptures: Kaśyapa tells Gautama how poison moves through the dhātus. When it has reached the blood, thirst increases, a faintness comes and cold things become welcome. The first medicine, ground and given quickly, is vaṭṭivēru, candana, ceṅgalvakoshṭu, nandivardhana, mahākāla roots, vāvili roots, iṅgilīkam and black pepper.
