Source: archive.org: Vagbhata’s Ashtanga Hridaya Samhita (first 5 chapters)Mārjikā (मार्जिका) refers to a type of food-preparation related to rasālā (tick milk), as mentioned in verse 3.30 of the Aṣṭāṅgahṛdayasaṃhitā (Sūtrasthāna) by Vāgbhaṭa.—The best definition of rasālā is given by Indu. Quoting from some unidentifiable source, he says:—“(One) quarter of sugar mixed with (three quarters of) curd, stirred with a twirling-stick, (and) seasoned with dry ginger, cumin, and rock-salt they know as rasālā (or) mārjikā”.
