8.16

When [the poison] has entered the large intestine, it produces thirst, burning sensation, fainting, diarrhea, rumbling in the bowels, lethargy, sensory impairment, loss of strength, emaciation, pallor, and abdominal enlargement.

There, purgation should be administered with ghee mixed with nīlinī fruit, and one should give [the patient] Dūṣīviṣāri to drink with curd mixed with honey.

When poison is applied to a toothbrush twig, however, there is shedding of its brush-bristles, the odor of medicine, dryness, and swelling of the palate, teeth, tongue, and lips. There, having scarified, one should rub [the area] with powders of dhātakī flowers, jambu seeds, and harītakī mixed with honey, or with a paste of saptacchada.

A mouth gargle should be made with the juice of pomegranate, karamarda, fragrant mango, kola, and badara, mixed with honey.

By this, tongue scrapers, mouthwashes, and gargles are explained.

One should know them by those very cleansing procedures, etc., that have arisen from them as stated.

Or the pulp of kola seeds, antimony, popped rice, and the dust of blue lotuses.

However, it will be taught in such a way that all physicians will understand:

The medium dose of a plant extract is four palas;

Of a paste or powder, a karṣa; [and] three palas of a liquid for stirring them.

With these very drugs an antidote is prepared using he-goat's urine.
