Vegānusāra-cikitsā (stage wise treatment), specific symptoms and treatment of 16 types of maṇḍali snakes are explained here. E.g.: In rakta-maṇḍali bite, bleeding from nose and mouth, foul smell, deep enmity, hatred, fainting etc. will be seen.

In bleeding from hair follicles, fried powder of root of Śigru (Moringa oleifera) mixed with cow's ghee should be massaged all over the body.

In yellowish urine, bark of Karañja (Pongamia pinnata) should be given in hot water. In the ulcer at the maṇḍali bite site, Daśapuṣpa, Svarasa (juice) or Pārantyadi-taila can be used.
