274 parts should be taken with tepid water, followed by a meal of cocked rice with milk. The decoction of the drugs of the Nyagrodhádi group should be taken, when cold, with honey and sugar followed by a proper regimen of diet. Powders of the drugs included within the Śála-sárádi group or of Ámalaka should be formed into a lambative with the addition of honey and given to be licked by the patient. 23-26.

The pulverised compound of Vidanga, Musta, Tri-phalá, Ajamodá, Parushaka, Vyosya and Chitraka as well as clarified butter, honey, sugar and treacle should be duly cooked in the decoction of the drugs of the Śála-sárádi group till reduced to the consistency of a lambative. It should then be taken down and preserved inside a covered vessel prepared of Mokshaka (Mushkaka). This lambative proves curative in cases of Pándu attended with a general edema as well as in cases of the violent types of Kámalá. 27.

Treatment of Kámalá, etc:— Tribhandi (Trivrit) taken with sugar as well as Gavákshi or Śunthi taken with treacle, is beneficial to a patient suffering from an attack of Kámalá. Clarified butter duly cooked with Káleya--wood and mixed with turmeric as an after-throw is also efficacious. In the alternative the patient should take Srotánjana and Śilájatu with cow's urine in a case of Kumbha-Kámalá. Mandura (rust of iron) kept immerged in cow's urine should be likewise taken with Saindhava-salt continually for a month. Mandura should be burnt in the fire of Vibhitaka- wood and cooled with cow's urine. The process should be repeated eight times in succession. The iron-rust thus tempered should be subsequently reduced to powders. Licked with honey it would act as a speedy cure in cases of Kumbha-Kámalá. 28-30.
