Taste is indeed watery and initially unmanifest. / Because time has six seasons, when joined with deficient or excessive qualities of the great elements, transformed unevenly, it changes into six distinct forms by division into sweet and the others. / A kuḍava of pomegranate juice, half a kuḍava of coriander, one-eighth [kuḍava] of pippalī, and a pala each of dry ginger and citraka, made into a paste together, cooked with an āḍhaka of water and twenty palas of clarified butter: this dispels heart disease, anemia, abdominal swelling, splenic disease, hemorrhoids, asthma, cough, impaired vāta, and afflictions of vāta and kapha, kindles the digestive fire, and is commended for barren women and those with difficult labor. / Piercing pain, throbbing, and tearing in the temples, eyes, brows, forehead, and mouth.
