The Compendium of Bheḷa 6.14

Vaṃśaka, naktamāla, mūrvā, kaṭukarohiṇī, / tarkārī, pragraha, and pīlu and nicula,

asana, saptaparṇa, triphalā, and black pepper: / taking equal parts of these, one should prepare a decoction.

A man should drink powders of these very [drugs] with honey; / he should feed cooked rice prepared with this very decoction.

Roots of picumanda, citraka, hastipippalī, / bark, leaves, fruits, and roots from karañja, and mustard seeds:

all these in equal parts, and soil from an anthill, / finely ground with cow's urine, make an excellent paste for rubbing.

Rāsnā, vacā, arka root, hiṃsrā, dantī likewise, / śatapuṣpā, kuṣṭha, the two turmerics, and punarnavā:

Apāmārga in horse's urine, śārivā, naktamālikā, / combined with soil from an anthill, make an excellent paste for rubbing with these.

Karañja, surasa, bilva, devadāru, vacā, arjuna, / tarkārī, meṣaśṛṅgī, śobhāñjanaka, araṇī,

both bṛhatīs, śyonāka, śvadaṃṣṭrā, khadira, and asana: / with these prepared in equal parts in water, an effusion of the decoction [should be done].

With these very drugs in equal parts ground with milk, one should apply a plaster. / By this procedure, stiffness of the thighs is quickly calmed.

The two pañcamūlīs, triphalā, citraka, devadāru, / ekāṣṭhīlā, apāmārga, śreyasī, vāyasī, sudhā,

kālā, bhārṅgī, pṛthakparṇī, suvahā, madayantikā, / kāśmarī, viśalyā, hiṃsrā, hemavidārikā,

cirabilva, aśoka, balā, aṃśumatī, / vayasthā, pīlaparṇī, pāṭhā, and śatāvarī:

taking parts of five palas of these in seven droṇas of water, / one should boil down slowly to an eighth part remaining, along with an āḍhaka of oil,

with kuṣṭha, śatapuṣpā, citraka, the three pungents, / devadāru, agaru, best viḍaṅga, musta,

aśvagandhā, pāṭhā, mūrvā, śyonāka, / pippalī, ginger, dantī, asafoetida, and amlavetasa:

with this paste and the decoction, the physician should cook it well. / Once prepared, filtered, and cooled, one should mix it with honey and ghee.

One should administer that for his drink, and likewise in inunctions and the like. / Long-standing stiffness of the thighs is calmed by this oil,

and it destroys elephantiasis, āḍhyavāta, and khuḍavāta. / Or the graduated pippalī regimen with honey or water—

they praise [this] in stiffness of the thighs, or gaṇḍīrāriṣṭa indeed, / and alkalis, alkali antitoxins, and various kinds of non-unctuous enemas.

Or the administration of harītakī is praised in stiffness of the thighs. / For as one is being scraped down, his muscle and strength would become depleted;

to protect the body, one should feed and also nourish [him]. / He should eat aged ṣaṣṭika and old śāli rice,

and should consume the meat of wild animals and birds, / who is afflicted with stiffness of the thighs when vāta is predominant.

This treatment of stiffness of the thighs has all been correctly spoken. / Thus said the venerable Ātreya. / Thus the fourteenth chapter in Bheḷa. / Fifteenth chapter. / Now we shall explain erysipelas and vāta-blood; thus said the venerable Ātreya.
