kaphaṃ kaṭuvipākitvādamlatvānmārutaṃ jayet |

paraṃ ca kaṇṭhyaṃ cakṣuṣyaṃ hṛdyaṃ dāhajvarāpaham ||

kāsaśvāsāruciyutaṃ nāvaṇasirātatam ||

dhātūn kṣīṇeṣu doṣeṣu jīvitaṃ dhātusaṅkṣaye ||

It conquers kapha because of its pungent post-digestive effect, and wind because of its sourness;
and it is supremely beneficial for the throat, beneficial for the eyes, beneficial for the heart, and removes burning sensation and fever.
Accompanied by cough, dyspnea, and loss of appetite, covered with newly formed veins;
[One should protect] the bodily tissues when the doṣas are depleted, [and protect] life when the bodily tissues are depleted.
