Ashtangasamgraha 9.19

9.19

Arising from the primordial creation of the world, rooted in darkness (tamas), and consisting of darkness, / sleep occurs mostly at night due to the abundance of darkness. / And having seen the increase of disease through improper application, one should predict death. / With juices produced from pomegranate, dates, bhavya, grapes, and parūṣaka, / one should administer them, for they bring the mind of one who has been purified back to its natural state.
