Equal parts of Valá, stones of Kola-fruits, Yashti-madhu, Śvadamshtrá (Gokshura), Śatávati, Mrinála (lotus-stem), Kaśeru, seeds of Ikshuraka, Sahasra-viryá (Durbá), Amśumati (Śála-parni), Payasyá (Vidári), Kálá, Śrigâlavinná (Priśniparni), Ati-valá and the drugs of the Vrimhaniya (Kákolyádi) group should be duly boiled with four times of water of their combined weight and a Tulá masure of treacle. When only a Drona measure of water would remain, it should be taken down and strained through a piece of linen. It should then be duly cooked with an Ádhaka measure of clarified butter. The medicated Ghrita (thus prepared) with a Prastha measure of honey added to it (when cooled) should be kept in an earthen pitcher. By using this medicated Ghrita, one would be cured of all urinary troubles.*[1] 29.
Thus ends the fifty-eighth chapter in the Uttara-Tantra of the Sus'ruta Samhitá which deals with the (symptoms and) treatment of the suppression of urine (Mutrágháta).

By its use the patient would be able to conquer all seminal troubles if he observes a perfect continence. One whose semen has been wasted by sexual excesses would get instantaneous relief; and a man who is possessed of vigour (Ojas) and strength would be refreshed and cheerful.
