The Compendium of Bheḷa 6.26

In one emaciated by the consumption of dry food and drink and by suppression of natural urges, / or likewise in one who has exerted himself exceedingly,

or in one who has undergone purgation and erratic nasal therapy, or one emaciated by enema, / or one who neglects his meals, or even one who consumes meals excessively,

the aggravated wind, having become cleared [of obstructions] and situated in the colon, attacks. / Having afflicted the heart, residing in the ten channels,

it fills the upward channels and rushes to the head and temples. / Due to convulsions, his limbs are bent like a bow.

With closed eyes, or stiffened, he struggles without respiration; / he breathes with difficulty like a serpent, and even coos like a dove.

And when the heart is released by the wind, he attains health again; / but once more he lies down with drooping eyes, and loses consciousness as if unprepared.

That is a dreadful vātika disease, lodged in the vessels and the heart. / And because of the blockage of the channels and their being constricted by the urge,

from the disturbance of the channels, apatantraka constantly arises. / The wise physician should not cause him to vomit, nor should he purge him,

nor should he give him a decoction enema, nor should he subject him to reducing therapy. / Long pepper, then viḍaṅga, śigru, and black peppers—

having ground these into a fine powder, he should perform head-cleansing. / For one whose phlegm and wind are aggravated while breathing,

when his phlegm is destroyed, consciousness arises. / Sauvarcala salt, pomegranate, as well as asafoetida, amlavetasa,

and ginger, when drunk, destroy apatantraka. / Asafoetida, puṣkaramūla, tumburu, harītakī—

this should be given with barley decoction water together with the three salts. / Heart disease, pain in the flanks, and advanced apatantraka,

this formulation quickly pacifies, as well as colic and vātika gulma. / Vibhītaka, ativiṣā, bhadramustā, with long pepper,

bhārṅgī, and ginger—one should make fine powders of these. / Those powders, drunk with liquor or with hot water,

swiftly destroy dyspnea, cough, and apatānaka in men. / Harītakī, vacā, rāsnā, rock salt, with amlavetasa,

combined with a proper dose of ghee, destroys apatānaka. / Śukanāsā, mahāvallī, the two bṛhatīs, ginger,

nicula, and bhārṅgī, […] kālikā, / and punarnavā—in equal parts measuring an akṣa, the physician should cook

in an āḍhaka of water a prastha of ghee, and when prepared he should cause him to drink it. / Dyspnea, cough, severe hiccup, heart disease, and apatantraka

do not surpass this ghee, just as the great ocean does not cross its shore. / Kākādanī, balālambā, the two bṛhatīs, ginger,

kadambapuṣpī, kālā, candravallī, likewise vṛṣā, / ādārī, vidārī, suvahā, and keśavatī—

one should boil portions of two palas of these in a droṇa of water. / With these same [herbs] measuring an akṣa, one should cook a prastha of ghee

with double the quantity of decoction; when prepared, he should drink it appropriately. / It removes incurable, severe hiccup and dyspnea.

And from harītakī five [palas], and two palas from sauvarcala— / one should cook a prastha of ghee combined with double the quantity of milk.

This ghee dispels apatāna along with heart disease, / and instantly treats advanced hiccup and dyspnea.

This treatment has been declared for the destruction of apatānaka. / Next I shall state the treatment and the symptoms of ardita:

From injury with weapons or sticks, from excessive sexual intercourse, / from vomiting, from drinking liquor, and from drawing a bow,

in those constantly habituated to physical exercise, from falling, and even from jumping, / in one who has irregular meals, and in one emaciated by disease,

the provoked wind of a person goes upward indeed. / It torments the base of the jaw, the head, and the neck.

It makes his mouth and eyes distorted; / his head and neck tremble, and his nose becomes crooked.

His eyes close, or remain motionless and unequal; / he looks upward excessively, looking obliquely with half-closed eyes.

His lips are swollen, and his chin is bent downwards; / then he spits excessively, and his speech is indistinct and halting. […] / Twenty-seventh chapter. / […] / which destroy wounds.
