Ayurveda has mentioned the bite of Sarpa, Keeta, Luta, Vrischika etc., the Jangama Visha (animate poisons), their characteristic symptoms and its management, in a very special branch called as Agadatantra. Even though Vrischika (scorpions) is a type of Keeta (insect) due to its severity of poisoning and disease manifestations Ayurveda acharyas have given special attention to Vrischika visha and are described in the classics as a special entity. Vrischika damsa is specific envenomation that needs medical attention. Much fruitful traditional and regional knowledge are there in the management of Vrischika damsa In India also in several places Vrischika damsa occurrence is high. As India had to bear with invasions of foreign forces, several knowledge streams were deported and destroyed from the land. Several works on Agadatantra also suffered in this on slaughter. The presently available descriptions of Vrischika visha in Agadatantra are from Susruta samhita kalpa sthana, Uttara sthana of Ashtanga samgraha & Ashtanga hridaya and Charaka samhita Chikitsa sthana. Dasanga agada mentioned by Vagbhatacharya (A.H.U.37/28) indicated in Keetavisha is a commonly used drug in Vrischika damsa. So present paper gives an idea of medicinal effect of Dasanga agada in Vrishchika damsha.
