AGASTYA³ is mentioned on two occasions in the Carakasaṃhitā (Sū.1.9; Ci.1⁴.3) as a member of a group of sages. A recipe, called agastyaharītakī, is attributed to him in the same treatise (Ci.18.57–62); the Suśrutasaṃhitā ascribes to him an agastyāvaleha (U.52.42–46). The first chapter of the Bhāvaprakāśa mentions him as Agasti among the sages who assembled on the slopes of the Himālayas.
