(Bao Wei Er Xie Ben) is a Sanskrit document unearthed in Xinjiang in the 19th century. The ten drugs, which tasted sweet, and used widely were named as the "jīvanīya class of herbs" (Shi Tian Yao) in this document . It was found that "jīvanīya" tasted sweet, felt cold and was often used in tonic decoction for relieving serious vāta (Feng), with references to the ancient medical book Ayurveda and the modern Ayurvedic pharmacopoeia. "Jīvanīya" was constructed with different dossage forms, such as butter, oil, enema, ointment. It can treat some diseases of consumption of the lungs, epilepsy, consumptive diseases and fever of children in (Bao Wei Er Xie Ben). The theories of "jīvanīya" came from Ayurveda. Compared with the theories of traditional Chinese Medicine, the theory that "jīvanīya" can treat consumptive diseases appears similar to the theories in about "Feng Xiao". The theories of Traditional Indian medicine and Chinese medicine appear resemblant, such as the commonalities in terms of using sweet tonics with liquorice and to treat comsumptive diseases.
（《鲍威尔写本》）是19世纪在新疆出土的一份梵文文献。在该文献中，十种味道甘甜且广泛使用的药物被命名为“续命类草药”（十味药）。参考古代医学典籍《阿育吠陀》及现代阿育吠陀药典发现，“续命”味甘、性凉，常用于缓解严重风（梵文：Vāta，音译：瓦塔，中医对应概念为风邪）的滋补汤剂。“续命”被制成不同剂型，如酥油、油剂、灌肠剂、软膏。在（《鲍威尔写本》）中，它可治疗一些肺痨、癫痫、小儿疳疾及发热病症。“续命”的理论源自《阿育吠陀》。与中医理论相比，“续命”可治疗痨病的理论与（中医典籍中）关于“风消”的理论相似。传统印度医学与中医理论似乎有相似之处，比如在使用甘草等甜味滋补剂治疗痨病方面有共性。
