6.7.156

nihanti sarvakuṣṭhāni pānābhyaṅganiṣevaṇāt/
mahākhadiramityetat paraṃ kuṣṭhavikāranut//
iti mahākhadiraṃ ghṛtam/
prapatatsu lasīkāprasruteṣu gātreṣu jantujagdheṣu/
mūtraṃ nimbaviḍaṅge snānaṃ pānaṃ pradehaśca//

Through consumption as a drink and massage, it destroys all kuṣṭhas;
this Mahākhadira [ghee] is supreme in curing disorders of kuṣṭha.
Thus the Mahākhadira Ghee.
When limbs fall away, ooze with lymph, and are devoured by parasites,
urine, nimba, and viḍaṅga [serve for] bathing, drinking, and poultice.
