Now, taking one thousand palas of seedless āmalakas and harītakīs, or āmalakas and bibhītakas, or harītakīs and bibhītakas, or āmalakas, harītakīs, and bibhītakas, wrapped in palāśa bark, coated with clay, and steamed in chaff fire, one should pound them in a mortar and eat them without taking any other food according to the stated procedure, mixed with curd, ghee, honey, sesamum paste, oil, and sugar. At the conclusion thereof, restoration is made by gruels and the like, with inunction and massage using ghee and barley flour; and this course of rasāyana administration may be extended to twice that length, having considered the strength of the digestive fire; the subsequent meal consists of ṣaṣṭika rice with soup or milk, accompanied by ghee; from then on, he may conduct himself as he pleases, eating whatever he desires.
