The Compendium of Bheḷa 1.10

Then he said: from oil, flour dishes, kṛsarā, and also pāyasa, / from incompatible food, overeating, unripe food, water-lily root, dried vegetables,

from shame, grief, anger, lust, jealousy, greed, anxiety, and fear, / or from another such [cause], or by waking at night,

a person's digestive fire is extinguished, or by a bad bed. / His limbs twist, and his hips and back ache;

his shanks suffer pain, and fever arises in him; / the head of this embodied being becomes heavy, and likewise his eyes.

Phlegm and pitta are secreted with belching and with burning, / and his chest is stiffened, and his abdomen as if bloated;

distended like a full water-skin, he is agitated from the accumulation of doṣas; / he vomits repeatedly and also suffers fainting.

He is exceedingly thirsty, and his mouth dries up; / hoarseness of voice occurs in him, and the throat rises as if dry;

the nape tendons burn, and he has no desire [for food]. / When vāyu, pitta, and phlegm in him have surged upwards,

and combined with āma, they move with a residual portion; / then excessively evacuated repeatedly through both channels,

phlegm and pitta having reached depletion, and vāta indeed being strengthened, / when the alimentary tract is cleansed, the doṣa removed, and the body empty, māruta,

unattached to a single location, runs wildly here and there, / entering the groin, the heart, the navel, the bladder, and the vital spots;

depriving him of consciousness, it renders him unconscious again and again. / In this way one should properly recognize the sign of āma.

Hereafter I shall declare the signs of digested food: / when belching is sweet at first, and sour in the middle,

and then pungent afterwards, and without burning sensation; / lightness is seen in the body, the mouth is cleansed and clear,

he passes wind smoothly, either upwards or downwards; / he has an appetite to eat, and other pain subsides.

By these signs one should know that the food of embodied beings is digested. / If undigested in āma, one should fast; then a digestive agent should be used,

or one should combine that subsequent [intake] with foods such as gruels. / A decoction of dry ginger, prativiṣā, and mustā would be a digestive of āma;

a decoction with equal parts of dry ginger, īraka, and coriander gives appetite. / Mustā, asafoetida, trikaṭu, pāṭhā, vatsā, harītakī,

powder of prativiṣā, and citraka destroy āma. / Long pepper, dry ginger, and alkali, combined with lukewarm water,

fomentation, and a phlegm suppository are [used] in colic and stiffened states. / Soot from the house, long pepper, madana, and brown mustard, / ground with cow's urine along with jaggery—[this] fruit suppository is praised. Thus said the venerable Ātreya. Thus the tenth chapter in Bheḷa. / Chapter eleven. Now we shall explain the chapter on equal lying and wrapping; thus spoke the venerable Ātreya.
