If, however, the blood does not stop, in order to unite the mouth of the vein, one should dust it with the previously mentioned powders and press it with the fingertip.
Or, applying the mucilage of śālmali or upodakā to the mouth of the wound, one should bandage it tightly.
Or a bandage smeared with beeswax [should be applied].
One should sprinkle it with cold water.
Or one should treat it for clotting with cold, sweet, and astringent food, drink, sprinkling, poultices, and a well-ventilated chamber.
One should puncture a vein of one among blackbuck, spotted deer, goat, ram, buffalo, or wild boar, and give its blood raw or fried in ghee as a drink, or [give] a decoction of padmaka and other herbs sweetened with sugar and honey, milk, or sugarcane juice.
Or with that very [blood] rubbed with the root of darbha grass, one should administer an unctuous enema.
And one should feed him unctuous vegetable soups and meat broths.
Or immediately after the puncture, one should puncture that very vein again.
And if it does not stop by any means, one should apply alkali to cause suppuration.
Or, to constrict it, one should cauterize the mouth of the vein with a heated probe.
And one should not neglect it even for a moment.
For in one whose blood is depleted, vāta, seizing the vital points, causes fainting, loss of consciousness, tremor of the head, giddiness, torticollis, convulsions, dislocation of the jaw, hiccup, paleness, deafness, depletion of bodily tissues, convulsions, and the like,
or death.
Foul-smelling, moist, variegated in colour—then the bodily wastes,
Accumulated, cause it to discharge; one should know that as śarkarārbuda.
