bhavati cātra |

jīvantīkākolyau dve mede mudgamāṣaparṇyau ca |

ṛṣabhakajīvakamadhukaṃ ceti gaṇo jīvanīyākhyaḥ ||

sraṣṭā dhātā vibhurviṣṇuḥ saṃhartā mṛtyurantakaḥ ||

And on this it is said:

Jīvantī, the two kākolīs, the two medās, mudgaparṇī and māṣaparṇī,
ṛṣabhaka, jīvaka, and madhuka: this group is known as jīvanīya.
He is the creator, the sustainer, the omnipresent Viṣṇu, the destroyer, death, the end-maker.
And with these two groups and purgative substances, one should prepare clarified butter for drinking,
as well as non-unctuous and unctuous enemas;
and honey-śigru in drinks, food, and external pastes;
or one should use śilājatu according to the prescribed rules,
or guggulu; and according to the doṣa, one should manage it in all respects like a gulma.
An actual object near at hand he sees with difficulty, and he does not see a subtle object at a distance.
