The Compendium of Bheḷa 7.8

The physician should gather the fully ripe fruits of śaṅkhinī / between Caitra and Vaiśākha, undisturbed during the barley harvest,

in non-saline, unflooded ground warmed by the sun, / or having the appearance of black clay, or in golden soil,

not uneven, free of anthills, and not covered with grass— / on ground that is very level, whatever śaṅkhinī has grown [there].

Having poured a droṇa of it into a vessel whose closure is prepared, / and having kept it among barley leaves, he should take it out and store it.

Having covered it all around for seven nights or half a month, / dried in the sun, he should make fine powders.

And of these fruits, the physician should make two parts; / making sesame the third part, pounding it in a mortar,

and grinding thoroughly on a stone, he should then extract the oil. / An akṣa-measure of śaṅkhinī or paste of trivṛt,

and the physician should add four times as much milk to that oil. / Having stirred all this together, he should cook it over a gentle fire.

Taking it off when cooked, straining it, he should store it well-concealed. / He should make him drink an añjali, a prakuñca, or a handful of it.

He is purged well thereby, with neither deficit nor excess. / Then a handful of very fine boiled powder of śaṅkhinī,

combining it with a bowl of milk, he should place in a cooking vessel. / Having cooked it thus, strained it, and cooled it, he should churn it.

Whatever butter is obtained there, having removed it, he should cook it / with a paste of śaṅkhinī fruits, milk, and water.

He should drink that according to his capacity; thereby he is purged well. / He should thoroughly grind the paste of śaṅkhinī fruits on a stone;

stirring it with cow's milk, he should drink it: thereby he is purged. / And according to this very procedure, he should administer it with camel's milk,

or in goat's milk, sheep's milk, or again buffalo's milk; / or with cow's urine, camel's urine, or sheep's urine,

or else with elephant's urine, he should drink it: thereby he is purged. / Then, crushing raisins, he should add them into molasses-water;

having roasted them in śaṅkhinī oil, he should place them in a cooking vessel. / He should add half-parts of powders of pippalī and harītakī.

Having consumed a palmful of this, thereby he is purged well. / The kernels of śaṅkhinī fruit, and salt is to be given likewise,

fried in śaṅkhinī oil, he should then mix with molasses. / Combining it with wheat and ghee, the physician should make sweetmeat balls.

Having eaten three or two of them, he is then purged well. / Surā, sauvīraka, buttermilk, curds, whey, tuṣodaka,

kaṭvara, or jujube sīdhu, or curds cooked with meat broth, / or sīdhu of karkandhu and badara, or of pīlu and priyāla,

and of bhavya and pārāvata, or grape wine itself; / or he should administer it along with the juices of bilva, śigru, and kapittha.

"This formulation of śaṅkhinī has been fully set forth by me. / He who understands it thus is worthy to treat kings." / Thus said the venerable Ātreya. / In the Kalpasthāna of Bheḷa, the eighth chapter. / Chapter Nine. / Now we shall explain the formulation of śyāmā and trivṛt; thus said the venerable Ātreya.
