7.34

Producing little urine, pungent in post-digestive effect, enhancing intellect, digestive fire, kapha, and pitta, / black [sesame] is praised, next to it white, and next red. / Ghee containing jīvantī and pippalī with milk overcomes wasting; / and ghee prepared from milk boiled with aśvagandhā, taken with sugar and milk. / Sweet and bitter then repeatedly, astringent and pungent thereafter. / One should abandon the mentally distressed, the long-standing chronic patient, and one afflicted by spirits.
