सशर्करा ताम्रमही कषायं क्षरं धरित्री कपिला करोति । आपाण्डुरायां लवणं प्रदिष्टं मृष्टं[क्-मिष्टम्] पयो नीलवसुन्धरायाम् ॥ ५४-१०४ ॥

If the soil be red and mixed with pebbles, the water will be astringent in its flavour; if it be brown, the water will be saline; if white, it wall be saltish; and if black it will be sweet.
