> He incurs censure among the good and suffers death from the king.  
> In etiology, symptom, pacification, and non-recurrence of diseases—  
> Therefore, longing arises in her through them.  
> And so they call a woman with two hearts 'the woman with longing' \[dauhṛdinī\].  
> Others, however, say that the period of pregnancy longings begins from three fortnights and lasts up to the fifth month.  
> Dryness of the throat and lips, thirst, dry vomiting and cough, depression;  
> And having boiled a decoction of the two pañcamūlas, one should cook ghee,  
> Along with milk, and pasted grapes, medā, āmalaka, and pauṣkara;  
> In tender men, \[this is\] a harmless purgation.  
> Then, having unctuously and mildly purged her, one should treat her with enema therapies,  
> And with vāta-alleviating inunctions, sudations, poultices, and massages.  
> One should make the infant lick the powder of sarala, rāsnā, ajamodā, and devadāru with ghee,  
> Or ghee cooked with precisely such ingredients together with sugar.
