Chloride of ammonium is not mentioned by Susruta and the older writers. In recent Sanskrit works it is called narasára, a term apparently derived from the vernacular nausadar of Persian oirgin. Another salt mentioned in recent Sanskrit compilations is the impure sulphate of soda called Khárinoon in the vernacular. It is called Kshári lavana in Sanskrit, and is used in combination with other saline medicines.
