For twenty-one days (trisaptaka) the patients are to be given meat and the powder of long pepper, turmeric, gum-myrrh, mimāyī, pāṭalā and svarji, passed through a piece of cloth, and mixed with goat’s milk. For the first seven days all birds suffering from Śākhā should be given meat and the powder of the bark of the root of Morunga guilandina mixed up with the milk of Calotropis gigantea. [...]”.
