Source: archive.org: Vagbhata’s Ashtanga Hridaya Samhita (first 5 chapters)Indriyavaimalya (इन्द्रियवैमल्य) refers to “faultlessness of senses”, as mentioned in verse 4.29-31 of the Aṣṭāṅgahṛdayasaṃhitā (Sūtrasthāna) by Vāgbhaṭa.—Accordingly, “[...] If (a patient) has been debilitated by medicine, strengthening (him) gradually by food such as rice, sixty-day-old rice, wheat, mung-beans, meat, and ghee—(which), in combination with cardiac and stomachic remedies, (is) promotive of appetite and digestion—as well as by inunctions, massages, baths, and purgative and lubricant enemas (is) wholesome. Thus he recovers comfort, intensity of all the fires, faultlessness of intellect, colour, and senses [viz., dhī-varṇa-indriya-vaimalya], potency, (and) longness of life”.
