पत्राधिकं निशि हितं सफलं दिवा च प्रोक्तान्यथाकरणं अस्य विडम्बनैव । कक्कोलपूगलवलीफलपारिजातैर् आमोदितं मदमुदा मुदितं करोति ॥ ७७-३७ ॥

If the leaves exceed their measure at night or the nut exceed its measure by day the effect will be good; if the case be otherwise, the Tāmbūla will not be found sweet. If the Ṭāmbūla contain as its ingredients Kakkola, Arecanut, Lavalīphala and Pārijāta, it will exhilarate the spirit and excite sexual passion.
