Part 4 - Treatment of Udara-roga (1): Trailokya-sundara rasa

One tola, each, of mercury, sulphur, copper, mica, rock-salt, aconite black jira, biranga, sugar-like essence of guruchi, roots of chitraka, bacha, and java-kshara, and two tolas of sulphur are to be mixed together and subjected to bhavana with the juices of nirgundi, roots of chitraka and bijapura, for one day each. Pills are then to be made, two raktis in weight each, to be taken with a few drops of clarified butter. This medicine cures vatodara.

The following ghrita is to be taken in doses of one tola only, just after taking the above medicine: One prastha (64 tolas) of cow’s ghrita and eight tolas, each, of powdered roots of chitraka and javakshara are to be boiled (by mild heat in an iron cauldron) with 256 tolas of cow’s urine, reducible to 64 tolas (to be sifted by means of a piece of cloth).
