36.64

五藥: The scripture text is indistinct and lacks them. Now, relying on the *Vajraśekhara-yoga*, the Sanskrit names of the five medicines are given as: 1. Sahacrī (sahacarā), 2. Sahadevī, 3. Kaṇṭakārī, 4. Girikarṇikā, 5. Vṛddhirddhī (bṛhatī). These are all medicines of the Western countries and are absent in this land; thus, they are replaced with efficacious medicines produced in this land: 1. Poria (fuling), 2. Cinnabar (zhusha), 3. Realgar (xionghuang), 4. Ginseng (renshen), 5. Red arrow (chijian / Gastrodia elata). Take a small portion of each, place them together into a small jar, and bury it.
