कुर्याच्चोत्कारिकास्वेदं विषघ्नैरुपनाहयेत् | गुडोदकं वा सुहिमं चातुर्जातकसंयुतम् ||७१||

sanskrit

For venomous bites, a treatment with a sudation using a special preparation called "Utkarika" should be performed. This includes applying a poultice made from venom-reducing substances, which may include ingredients like jaggery water (Gudodaka) or a mixture of four types of grains (Chaturjataka). This helps alleviate the symptoms caused by the venom and provides relief.
