sanskrit

For a patient suffering from impure dropsy, one should prepare a medicinal ghee with the juice of Saptalā and Śaṅkhinī, and use it for a month or half a month. Alternatively, one may use ghee made from the milk of Mahāvṛkṣa or from fermented liquor mixed with urine. One should administer a decoction of Madya (alcohol) with Ashvamāraka, Guñjā, Kākadani, and root pastes for cleansing the bowels. The patient should also be fed with the roots of sugarcane or the fruits of black serpentine after having been bitten. Additionally, one may use the roots and tubers of poison to create a different state of the disease.
