354 of the present disease. Now hear me describe the recipes of other medicinal compounds which may be employed in the aforesaid diseases in addition to those already mentioned. 9 — 10.

A pulverised compound of Pathyá, Vachá, Hingu, Kalinga (Indra-yava), Grinja (a variety of garlic), Souvarchala and Ativishá taken with tepid water instantaneously relieves an attack of indigestion, colic, Visuchiká and an aversion to food. The medicine known as Kshárá-gada (Kalpa — chapter VII) or Vit-salt, or mustard-seeds and a profuse quantity of treacle, should be taken (with tepid water). Saindhava, Hingu, Vijapura, (D. R. seeds of Śáka), clarified butter and the two Tri-vargas (Tri-phalá and Tri-katu) in combination with any fermented gruel (Kánjika), or Tri-katu and Saindhava-salt mixed together with the milky exudation of Snuhi, should be taken (with Kánjika). In the alternative, the medicated salt known as Kalyána-Lavana described before under the treatment of Váta-vyádhi should be taken (with Kánjika). Pippali, Yamáni and Apámárga, or Pippali and Danti in equal parts should be similarly taken. Pippali mixed with Danti should also be used with the expressed juice of Koshávati (Ghoshá). Pippali and S'unthi should also be taken with hot water. 11. The drugs known as Vyosha ( Tri-katu), Karanja-fruits (seeds), the two kinds of Haridrá * and the root of Mátulunga taken in equal parts should be pounded together, made into Gutikás (or pills) and dried in the shade. The application of these pills as an eye-salve (Anjana) along the eye-lids proves curative in cases of Visuchiká.† 12.
