6.1.2

athātaḥ prāṇakāmīyaṃ rasāyanapādaṃ vyākhyāsyāmaḥ//
balaṃ mahadvarṇaviśuddhiragryā svaro ghanaughastanitānukārī/
bhavatyapatyaṃ vipulaṃ sthiraṃ ca samaśnato yogamimaṃ narasya//
ete daśavidhāstveṣāṃ prayogāḥ parikīrtitāḥ/
rogaprakṛtisātmyajñastān prayogān prakalpayet//
kaphajo na sa rogo 'asti na vibandho 'asti kaścana/
yaṃ na bhallātakaṃ hanyācchīghraṃ medhāgnivardhanam//

Now we shall expound the quarter on rasāyana dealing with the desire for vital breath.
Great strength, foremost purity of complexion, and a voice resembling the rumble of a gathering cloud,
and abundant, steadfast offspring belong to a man who consumes this formulation.
These have been declared as tenfold methods of administration;
one knowing the nature of diseases and constitutional suitability should prescribe those applications.
There is no kapha-born disease, nor is there any constipation,
that bhallātaka does not quickly destroy, increasing intellect and digestive fire.
