When [poison] is applied as a collyrium, there are tears, eye discharge, coating, redness, pain, visual distortion, and blindness.

There, drinking ghee should be employed.

One should impregnate pippalī fruits seven times with boiled milk.

Then ghee cooked with that paste is an eye-rejuvenator.

Or a collyrium may be made with the flowers of kapittha, meṣaśṛṅgī, and bhallātaka, or with the resin of varaṇa. One should impregnate the powder of bṛhatī, śirīṣa seeds, prapauṇḍarīka, and nāgabalā seven times with honey;

And that collyrium, mixed with antimony and gold powder, should be applied.

When [poison] is applied as snuff or smoking, there is headache, discharge of kapha, bleeding from the orifices, and sensory impairment.

There, one should administer in snuff and drink ghee prepared with milk over a paste of ativiṣā, śvetā, kākamācī, and madayantikā.

When [poison] is applied as an unction, there is burning of the skin, sweating, suppuration, blisters, and cracking.

There, for one sprinkled with cold water, an unction should be made with candana, tagara, uśīra, kuṣṭha, veṇupatrikā, amṛtā, somavallī, śvetā, padmaka, and kāleyaka.

These very same [substances], with kapittha juice and cow's urine, are a drink.

Roots of girikarṇikā, śvetā, priyaṅgu, sārivā, madhuka, sarpasugandhā, amṛtā, urvāru, and kataka ground with a decoction of śelu make an unguent.

By this, massage pastes, rubbings, sprinklings, unguents, ornaments, vehicles, beddings, garments, armor, sandals, shoes, and footstools are explained.

For those various distinctive dispositions are seen in men, determined by caste and the like.

For another person, [the disorder] may arise from consuming things that destroy the digestive fire.

One should drink the dust of śāli rice and red ochre with cold water,

Or candana, drākṣā, māṃsī, uśīra, ambu, and red ochre ground together.

Described as possessing qualities like the former, it produces success even at the king's gate.
