of third sex) for three days. The patient should give up acidic stuff, curd, molasses, oil, salt and chilli with care by all means. The man (that person) should drink milk measuring twenty four prasthas and enjoy rice measuring seven seers and again clarified butter measuring five seers is to be drunk by him. The tativavida (one who knows this science) himself enjoys twenty one woman without labour even.

This medicine is not to be given to him in whose house there is no wife. If it is given to him, blood would come out of his penis. There is no doubt about it. Even an impotent becomes very much sex-excited (passionate) by partaking of this bhasma, just measuring one grain-of rice. I say, it is true.
Medicinal ash is to be used by a patient afflicted with leprosy (Kustha) also by the method as said before. But he should take only roti (Indian bread) made of gram powder.
It is to be used by a patient afflicted with leucoderma also by the same way as explained before, but it is to be known that the diet of boiled water (soup) of phaseolus mungo with clarified butter should be given to him by the process as said before.
Even the disease of jaundice goes away on the use of the medicinal ash for three days and the taking of sathi rice by the way as saih before.
Dropsy also thus goes away, if it is given by the way as explained before; the patient should take godhumathulika (grains of wheat) cooked with sugar.
Medicinal ash measuring one grains of rice, if taken for four days destroys (cures) quickly the disease called stangajhola (comatose ?). But an intelligent patient should take the diet of phaseolus radiatus and rice (which is) called hotch-potch (Kṣipracatika kichaḍi) for the cure of the disease quickly.
That medicinal ash drunk with the combination of the juice of piper belt, as said before, together with the taking of diet-Godhūmalapata, a kind of wheat preparation, destroys (cures) apasmara (epilepsy), a kind of vayuroga.
