Ayurveda (science of life)
Source: archive.org: Vagbhata’s Ashtanga Hridaya Samhita (first 5 chapters)Śāntatāpa (शान्तताप) refers to “showing tempered heat” and is mentioned in verse 3.6 of the Aṣṭāṅgahṛdayasaṃhitā (Sūtrasthāna) by Vāgbhaṭa.—Accordingly, “[...] the southern course (of the sun comprises) the seasons monsoon, etc. and (is named) ‘liberation’ as it liberates strength (in man) ; for the moon (is) strong then because of its being soma-like, (while) the sun declines, the surface of the earth showing heat tempered [viz., śāntatāpa] by cool clouds, rains, and winds”.
Note: Śāntatāpa (“showing tempered heat”) has been interchanged with mahītala (“surface of the earth”) and resolved into thsa-ba źi-ba (“tempered in its heat”) The locative absolute, which still belongs to what precedes, has been rendered by a temporal clause and joined to the next sentence so as to keep the original word-order intact.—The spelling sa-steṅs (CD) is rare though not unique; it recurs, for example, in Bodh. 5 36 (D) and in Mahāvyutpatti 3423.
