Cakradatta (Cikitsasangraha) 7: Adhikāra 7

Pārasī yamānikā, / taken in the morning with water kept overnight / preceded by jaggery, / quickly causes the host of intestinal worms to drop away. || 1

One should drink the juice obtained from pāribhadra and arka leaves mixed with honey, / or the juice of kebuka, or the juice of patyura; / or one should lick viḍaṅga powder with honey to destroy worms. || 2

A decoction of mustā, ākhuparṇī, fruit, dāru, and śigru, / with kṛṣṇā, viḍaṅga, and bark, / eliminates, through both pathways, worms that have been active for a long time / as well as diseases born of worms. || 3

Having eaten a small cake made with ground ākhuparṇī leaves and flour, / one should drink sauvīraka after it; it is supreme in removing worms. || 4

Or one should drink the fresh juice of palāśa seeds mixed with honey; / or one should drink a paste of its seeds with buttermilk to destroy worms. || 5

Or one should employ the surasādi group in every way. / Viḍaṅga, rock salt, alkali, kāmpillaka, and harītakī, || 6

ground together, one should drink with buttermilk for the cessation of all worms. / With viḍaṅga, pippalīmūla, śigru, and marica, || 7

a thick gruel cooked with buttermilk and containing suvarcikā will destroy worms. / Clarified butter processed with bimbī, when drunk, destroys worms situated in the colon and stomach. || 8

Triphalā, trivṛtā, dantī, vacā, and likewise kāmpillaka: / clarified butter cooked with these in cow's urine destroys worms. || 9

Three prasthas of triphalā, one prastha of viḍaṅga, / and two palas of daśamūla should be procured as available; || 10

when boiled down in a droṇa of water until a quarter remains, one should cook one prastha / of clarified butter with it, adding one pala of rock salt; it destroys worms. || 11

And this viḍaṅgaghṛta, licked with sugar, / drives away all worms, like the thunderbolt hurled against the Asuras. || 12

Juice from dhattūra leaves mixed with mercury, / or from betel leaves, applied as a paste, destroys lice. || 14

Mustard oil cooked with viḍaṅga, sulphur, and realgar / in cow's urine / leads lice together with their nits / to lifelong destruction. || 15
