Pausad (पौध/पौषध) means medicine or a medicinal remedy. It is a general term for substances used to treat illness or maintain health, and is commonly used in Jain scriptures in the sense of medicinal herbs or drugs.

Notes:

• It is a standard term in both Digambar and Śvetāmbara traditions; there isn’t a major sect-level difference in meaning.
• The word is often seen in prescriptions or discussions about healing within Jain texts.

If you’d like, I can provide a short Jain scripture excerpt that uses the word pausad and explain its context.
