चुक्रं क्रकचमिवेदं दुर्नाम्नां वह्निदीपनं परमम् । पाण्डुगरोदरगुल्मप्लीहानाहाश्मकृच्छ्रघ्नम् ॥ १४८ ॥

This fermented preparation, known as Cukra, acts like a saw (krakacam iva) for destroying piles (durnāmnāṃ). It is an excellent stimulator of the digestive fire (vahni-dīpanaṃ paramam), and effectively cures pāṇdu – anemia, gara – chronic/homicidal poisoning, udara – ascites, gulma – abdominal tumors, plīhā – splenomegaly, ānāha – abdominal distension, aśma – urinary calculi, and kṛcchra-ghnam – dysuria.
