Excessively hot food causes intoxication, burning sensation, thirst, loss of strength, giddiness, and bleeding disorders; / cold food, however, causes prostration, loss of appetite, depression of digestive fire, nausea, obstruction, and horripilation.

Servants turn hostile; the appearance of a ghost is manifested.

And here one should throw in crushed yavānī, yavānaka, kustumbarī, and pṛthvīkā, one kuḍava each; likewise tejovatī, pañcakola, ajājī, the two jīrakas, and kāravī, measuring two palas each; and having thrown in a kuḍava of honey, one taking meals should drink a measure of it, after ten days when it is produced, perfumed with sauvarcala salt, wet ginger, and bhūstṛṇa. / And again and again one should throw in water and ingredients such as sugarcane pieces into it. / That sour gruel named gaṇḍīra is exceptionally appetizing, stimulates the digestive fire, and cures piles, disorders of the duodenum, abdominal enlargement, artificial poisoning, parasitic infection, abdominal swelling, alcoholism, and anemia.

It removes edema, piles, jaundice, anemia, abdominal swelling, cough, and seizure by spirits.
