कल्कं संरोहणं कुर्यात्तिलानां मधुकान्वितम् । स्निग्धोष्णतिक्तमधुरकषायत्वैः स सर्वजित् ॥ ५४ ॥

one should apply a healing paste (kalkaṃ saṃrohaṇaṃ kuryāt) made of sesame seeds (tilānām) along with liquorice (madhuka-anvitam). Owing to its properties of being unctuous (snigdha), warm (uṣṇa), bitter (tikta), sweet (madhura), and astringent (kaṣāya), it overcomes all complications (sa sarvajit).
