Those suffering from anemia, abdominal disease, diarrhea, hemorrhoids, assimilation disorders, wasting, and swelling / should willingly drink a little, or if unable, [water] prepared with medicines. // The unctuous substance [of the skin], eye-exudate, skin-exudate, feces, and vital essence are successively the waste products of the bodily tissues. // If one drinks [wine] appropriately divided and suitable to that, then one drinks nectar. // One should lick the juices of pippalī roots, liquorice, jaggery, cow dung, and horse dung, / mixed with honey and ghee, to destroy hiccup, conjunctivitis, and cough. // One should cause hiccup, [and] what destroys hiccup and promotes nourishment is beneficial there. // Or pastes are spoken for wounds made of lodhra, yaṣṭīmadhuka, mañjiṣṭhā, harītakī, and devadāru ground with liquor or urine; / or with vetasa, amla, and kapittha, or with the pañcamūla; / or oil cooked with the ashes of oyster-shell, conch, and snail, along with mañjiṣṭhā, abhayā, and madhuka, heals wounds.
