The Compendium of Bheḷa 7.4

He should gather dhāmārgavas in spring or in autumn, / when they are flowering, honey-scented, and splendid,

in an even tract of land graced with kuśa and rohiṣa grasses, / having the appearance of black soil, or with golden earth.

in full sunlight, not on a riverbank, nor in a pit or an anthill, / full-grown, ripe, and endowed with juice.

Having harvested [them], the wise physician should deposit [them] in a heap of barley; / or the prudent one should deposit [them] in a heap of chaff for seven nights.

Knowing them to be well-processed and softened, the expert in the treatises, / having crushed [them] on a grindstone, pouring [it] into vessels, should extract [it].

He should deposit [it] for one night with a decoction of kovidāra. / Then, rising in the forenoon and washing his hands, he should rub [it].

Having strained, salted, and warmed [it] together with honey, / he should make the unctuated patient drink [it]; thereby he vomits properly.

Taking a closed handful of these dhāmārgavas, / having crushed [them] on a grindstone, he should introduce [them] into vessels.

He should deposit [them] for one night with a decoction of kovidāra; / and he should induce vomiting according to strength, by the very procedure stated before.

With a decoction of nalada, of tālīsa and śatapuṣpā, / of kuṣṭha, mūrvā, and pāṭhā, he should induce vomiting by the previous procedure.

He should make fine powders of a full añjali of dhāmārgava; / throwing [it] into a decoction of śyāmā for one night according to rule,

and in this decoction of fruit—in ikṣvāku, kṛtavedhana, / jīmūtaka, and hastiparṇī—he should infuse it with the decoctions.

Then, having taken [it] out and dried [it], he should make fine powders. / He should make the man drink not too hot kṛsarā combined with that.

Having touched blue water-lily, white lotus, nalada, and white water-lily / with that powder, he should give [them] to him to sniff.

As soon as that mixture reaches the channels and heart, / he should quickly give those flowers to him to sniff.

Powdering the middle again and again, for sniffing repeatedly; / and by this very procedure, a man vomits easily.

He should make fine powders of a full añjali of dhāmārgava; / dividing [it] into three parts, the wise man should deposit [it] well concealed.

Then the physician should filter two parts with a decoction of bilva; / when filtered clear of decoction, he should deposit [it] well concealed.

From the [remaining] part, pills equal in size to a kola or karkandhu should be made. / With a decoction of kovidāra, he should induce vomiting by the previous procedure.

Or, having dissolved the pill according to rule with sīdhu of karkandhu, badara, / or kola, thereby he vomits properly.

With the broth of rohita fish, and also of crab, / and of aquatic birds, he vomits easily.

Indeed by this procedure, having dissolved the pill according to rule / with sour [liquids] and honey-sīdhus, he should administer it to drink according to strength. Thus said the venerable Ātreya. Thus the fourth chapter in Bheḷa. Fifth Chapter. Now we shall explain the procedure for kuṭaja; thus said the venerable Ātreya.
