Now we shall expound the quarter on virilisation beginning with "When a Man Has Gained Strength".
How a man, once he has gained strength, may approach women as much as he desires,
and how he may quickly become possessed of offspring—that will be taught.
For not all men who have gained strength are blessed with offspring;
some of large body and strong are weak with women.
And some of small frame are strong with women and have many progeny;
some are weak by constitution, and some are weakened by disease.
Some men approach a woman repeatedly like a sparrow,
while some discharge like an elephant, but do not copulate often.
Some possess strength due to season and circumstances, some are steady through habituation;
some are made potent through efforts, while some are virile by nature.
Therefore, we shall explain regimens that bestow strength to the weak,
provide easy enjoyment to the strong, and further increase their strength.
Having first purified the body with unctuous and non-unctuous enemas,
one desiring strength should administer preparations that increase semen and offspring.
Enemas combined with ghee, oil, meat soup, milk, sugar, and honey
should be administered to those who eat a diet of milk and meat soup.
Having pounded pork, added black pepper and rock salt,
and made pills the size of a jujube berry, one should roll them in heated ghee.
And hardened by rolling, they should be thrown into chicken soup
rich in ghee, fragrant with spices, and blended with yoghurt and pomegranate juice.
One should cook that soup in such a way that the pills do not break;
drinking that soup and eating those pills, he obtains inexhaustible semen.
In this way the physician should prepare pills from other fatty meats
along with soup; their use increases semen.
(Thus end the virilising meat pills.)
Sprouted, cleaned, dehusked māṣa together with seeds of ajaḍā
should be thrown, in measured quantity, into buffalo meat soup rich in ghee,
blended with yoghurt and pomegranate juice, along with coriander, cumin, and dry ginger.
