The details are as follows:—One Karṣa dūrvā should be given to a horse on the first day, and the dose should be increased by a Karṣa measure, each day, till the dose reaches five Pala.

[...] (One) attains (ultimate) reality by means of the trident and Māyā is destroyed by means of the wheel. All diseases are destroyed [i.e., sarvaroga-nāśa] by the thunderbolt while the goad is considered to be (the means to attract and) control. The enemy is destroyed by the arrow. The dagger is the avoidance of obstacles. Wealth (lakṣmī) is acquired by means of the severed head and the eight yogic powers by the ascetic’s staff”.

[He is] freed without exertion and without trouble, and liberated from any sickness (sarvaroga)”.

[...]”.
