Vishaghna daseimani
"Vishaghna daseimani" doesn't match any term or phrase I recognize in English, medical, or common languages. It may be a misspelling, a transliteration from another script, or a made-up/fictional term.
Could you clarify what you mean? For example:
- Is this a medical or scientific term?
- Is it from a specific language (Sanskrit, Telugu, Kannada, etc.)?
- Did you mean something like "Visha" (poison in Sanskrit) + another word?
With more context I can give you a proper answer.

Here is the complete reference for Vishaghna Dashemani (विषघ्न दशेमानि):
विषघ्न दशेमानि - Vishaghna Dashemani
Source / Reference
Charaka Samhita - Chikitsa Sthana, Chapter 23, Verse 31
(Also referenced in Sushruta Samhita - Kalpa Sthana, and Ashtanga Hridayam)
Meaning of the Term
- Visha (विष) = Poison / toxic substance. The word derives from "Vishada" - that which causes depression, destruction, or sorrow in the body.
- Ghna (घ्न) = Destroyer / one that kills/neutralizes.
- Dashemani (दशेमानि) = These ten (Dasha = 10, Emani = these/such).
So Vishaghna Dashemani = "These ten (herbs) that destroy/neutralize poison."
This group is one of the 50 Mahakashaya (great decoction groups) described by Acharya Charaka - ten herbs grouped together based on their predominant pharmacological action.
