यो गृध्रस्तरुणरविप्रकाशगल्लस्तस्यास्यं समयमृतस्य गोशकृद्भिः । निर्दग्धं समघृतमञ्जनं च पेष्यं योगोऽयं नयनबलं करोति गार्ध्रम् ॥ ३७ ॥

A young vulture, which has its neck shining like the sun (bright white) is killed just then and its face (head) given a plaster of cow dung nirdagdhaṃ and cooked (in a heap of burning coal), later the ash is taken out and mixed with equal quantity of ghee and macerated well; used as a collyrium, this recipe bestows strength to the eyes (keen vision) similar to that of a vulture.
