अश्विभ्यां विहितं हृद्यं कूष्माण्डकरसायनम् । पिबेन्नागबलामूलस्यार्धकर्षाभिवर्धितम् ॥ ११८ ॥

Originally formulated by the divine Ashwini twins, this exceptionally pleasant, heart-nourishing elixir is celebrated across classical tradition as Kushmanda Rasayana. To begin the specialized rejuvenative therapy (Rasayana), the patient should consume a decoction or fresh paste of the roots of Sida veronicaefolia (Nagabala), starting with an initial dose, and gradually increasing it by half a Karsha (approx. 6 grams) every succeeding day.
