Source: Shodhganga: Dietetics and culinary art in ancient and medieval IndiaUdbhedaja (उद्भेदज) refers to one of the six varieties of “salt” according to Kauṭilya’s Arthaśāstra II.15.16 (also Carakasaṃhitā Sūtrasthāna I.88-89), and is commonly found in literature dealing with the topics of dietetics and culinary art, also known as Pākaśāstra or Pākakalā.—We cannot see any reference to the salt in Ṛgveda. But most of the non-Ṛgvedic Saṃhitas, Brāhmaṇas and Upaniṣads refer to salt in the name of lavaṇa or saindhava. [...] Kauṭilya (Arthaśāstra II.15.16) mentions six varieties of salt [viz., Udbhedaja].
