Śirisha* and Mulaka seeds or bamboo-roots camphor, or Vacha and Mágadhi, or Yashti-madhu and honey, or Manah silá, pasted with honey, or (pasted) Chandana'' should be stuffed into the nostrils in the manner of an Avapida Nasya in a case of the Suryávarta type of Śiroroga as well as in a case of Ardhávabhedaka headache.
