one pala (48 grams) each of herbs of Jivaniya Gana (vide chapter 15 of Sutrasthana) are cooked in one drona (12.228 litres) of milk. Thus prepared medicine relieves epilepsy. Medicated ghee is prepared with one Kamsa (one adhaka – 3.072 litres) each of milk, and juice of sugarcane,
eight parts of juice of kāśmarye – Gmelina arborea, one Karsa (12 grams) each of the herbs of Jivaniya gana and one Prastha (768 grams) of ghee. This quickly cures epilepsy caused by Vata pitta together.
तद्वत्काशविदारीक्षुकुशक्वाथशृतं पयः । कूष्माण्डस्वरसे सर्पिरष्टादशगुणे शृतम् ॥ २८ ॥
Similarly, milk boiled with the decoction of kasha, vidari, ikshu, and kusha acts effectively against the disease. Ghee processed and cooked with eighteen times its quantity of fresh kushmanda (ash gourd) juice,
along with the addition of a fine paste of yashtimadhu (licorice), cures epilepsy (apasmara) and bestows superior intellect (dhi), articulate speech (vak), and a resonant voice (svara). Pitta (Bile) of the cow which is brown in colour is beneficial as nasal drops and is the best;
श्वशृगालबिडालानां सिंहादीनां च पूजितम् । गोधानकुलनागानां पृषतर्क्षगवामपि ॥ ३० ॥
that (bile) of the dog, śṛgāla – jackal, biḍālānāṃ – cat, siṃhādīnāṃ – lion etc is best. Oil boiled with the bile of the iguana lizard, nakula – mongoose, nāgānāṃ – elephant, spotted deer (or leopard),
