nālikerodakaṃ snigdhaṃ svādu vṛṣyaṃ himaṃ laghu |

tṛṣṇāpittānilaharaṃ dīpanaṃ bastiśodhanam |

divyaṃ vāri varaṃ varṣe nādeyamavaraṃ ||

iti toyavargaḥ |

pūtaṃ ghṛtānvitaṃ bastiṃ dadyādanyāṃśca picchilān ||

bhinnāgārāśrayā devī dārakaṃ pātu pūtanā ||

Coconut water is unctuous, sweet, aphrodisiac, cold, light, / removes thirst, pitta, and anila, kindles digestion, and purifies the bladder. / Celestial water is best in the rainy season, [and] river water is inferior. // Thus ends the section on waters. // Caṇḍā, tāmalakī, iron, bhārṅgī, ginger, and vālaka: / one should administer an enema strained and combined with ghee, and other slimy [enemas]. // May goddess Pūtanā, dwelling in a ruined house, protect the child!
