Khadira, āmalaka, aruṣkara, niśā, abhayā, saptaparṇa, and karavīra, / and caturaṅgula, viḍaṅga, and young sprouts of jātī destroy cutaneous disease. / Located there, seated in the tendons, it causes sciatica, extension spasms, and hunchback posture. / Or similarly with errhine substances. / And having thus fomented it, avoiding the scrotal raphe, having incised it with a bistoury, and removing the fat, one should smear it with iron sulphate, rock salt, and honey, and suture it. / Then one should prepare an oil with jasmine buds, realgar, cardamom, and bhallātaka for massage. / And until the healing of the wound, [one should employ] oleation and sudation. / The vision caused by pitta is called drasvā; it sees [objects as] drasvā; / it is known as pitta-scorched vision, yellow, and seeing [everything] with a yellow appearance.
