And on this it is said:
When well administered after examining the doṣas, tissues, and other factors,
these groups are sufficient to conquer all diseases for those of disciplined self.
Kāpāla kuṣṭha is from vāta, audumbara from pitta, and from kapha […].
There, in vasāmeha, [a decoction] of agnimantha [is used].
In majjāmeha, of amṛtā and citraka.
In hastimeha, the alkali of the bones of the elephant, boar, donkey, and camel mixed with the paste of kuṣṭha, kuṭaja, pāṭhā, and kaṭurohiṇī [is used].
In madhumeha, the decoction of kadara, khadira, and pura [is used].
Then, having filtered that ash according to the procedure for alkali, one should boil it down until it coats the ladle.
This extract eliminates swelling and coating bound by kapha.
And this very preparation should be carried out separately with the flowers of phaṇijjaka, arjaka, āsphota, bilva, kapittha, nirguṇḍī, eraṇḍa, kumuda, utpala, and jātī.
