यवागु Yavágu. Sometimes medicines are added to powdered rice, wheat, barley, etc., and boiled with water into a gruel which is taken as aliment. The proportion of water in this preparation is six to one of solid materials. This preparation is called Kalka-sádhya-yavágu or gruel made with medicinal paste, in contradistinction to another form called Kvatha-sádhya-yavágu or gruel made with a decoction of medicines, for which last see Oryza sativa.
