Páthá, Vamsá-lochana, Ativishá and Rajani should be boiled together with the urine of a she-elephant. (4) Manduki, Arka, Amritá and Lángalá should be similarly boiled by an experienced and practical physician with the urine of a she-buffalo. Whoever licks up any *[1] of the four preceding lambatives gets rid of Gulma, aversion to food, asthma and diseases affecting the heart and the larynx. 12.
Regimen of Diet:— The patient should partake of fruits, edible roots, etc. which grow in his country and take cordials, Shádavas †[2] Rágas ‡[3] and other palatable dishes which are congenial to his physical temperament and which he is accustomed to. He should also be made to take (articles of) different Rasas § [4] in different ways and his food should be at the same time light, Ruksha and agreeable to his taste. 13.
The due applications of Ásthápana-Vasti, purgatives and of light head-purgatives (errhines) are efficacious in the disease under discussion. The drugs known as Tryushana, Rajani (D. R. — the two kinds of Rajani) and Tri-phaláhh pounded together and mixed with powdered Yava-kshára and honey, should be used as a tooth-powder in washing the mouth. Any other drugs of bitter and pungent taste may be likewise prescribed for the purpose. 14-15.

- ↑ ‡ "Râga" — It is a preparation of a cordial with sugar, Souvarchala-salt, Saindhava, turmeric, Parushaka, black-berry and mustard, etc.
- ↑ § Dallana interprets "Rasa" by meat-soup but we are inclined to take it in the sense of articles of different tastes (Rasa).
