Hari, the compassionate Lord, revealed to those devoted to knowledge a treasury of remedies and practices, each carefully prescribed for the welfare of body and spirit. He began by describing how patola, when mixed with honey and administered with cow urine, can cure abdominal disorders, and how the Śaṅkarī pill is renowned for removing all manner of eye diseases. Continuing, Hari instructed that a blend of vaca, māṃsī, bilva, tagara, padma-keśara, nāgapuṣpa, and priyaṅgu—when powdered in equal parts and used for fumigation—grants one the freedom to roam the earth as desired. Mixing camphor and deodar with honey and applying this to the liṅga, he said, gives a man the power to bring a woman under his control. If, during intercourse, a man restrains his senses and anoints the left hand of the woman with this mixture using his own left hand, the woman, so anointed, comes under his sway and desires no other. Hari then revealed a potent mantra: by reciting, “Oṃ, O red Cāmuṇḍā, bring so-and-so under my control, bring, Oṃ hrīṃ hraiṃ hraḥ phaṭ,” ten thousand times, and marking the forehead with a tilaka made from gorocanā mixed with one’s own blood, one gains the power of enchantment. He further described that a mixture of rock salt, black salt, Sauvīra salt, fish bile, honey, ghee, and sugar, when applied to a woman’s yoni, achieves the intended effect. For a man wishing to remain devoted to one woman, the use of śaṅkapuṣpī, vacā, māṃsī, soma, rājī, and phalguka is advised. The best physician, Hari said, should take buffalo fat and fresh butter, processing them with the roots and leaves of these sacred plants, and grinding the mixture with milk and ghee. After preparing and purifying this medicinal pill, it is to be inserted into a woman’s yoni; even if she has borne ten children, she will become as a virgin once more. He described other curious remedies: mustard seeds, vacā, the fruits of madana, cat feces, and dhattūra, combined with women’s hair, are to be used for certain effects. For fevers, especially the fourth-day fever and those caused by ḍākinīs, fumigation with the flowers of arjuna, bhallātaka, and viḍaṅga brings relief. To destroy snakes, lice, flies, and mosquitoes, fumigation with balā, sarja resin, Sauvīra salt, and mustard seeds is prescribed. For constriction and contraction of the yoni, the powder of bhūtalā is recommended. Turning to eye complaints, Hari said that betel, ghee, honey, and salt, when combined in a copper vessel with milk, form an excellent remedy for eye pain. For cough, asthma, and hiccup, a mixture of harītakī, vacā, kuṣṭha, vyoṣa, asafoetida, and manahśilā, licked with honey and ghee, is highly beneficial. Pippalī, triphalā powder, and honey, when licked, destroy catarrh and cough, strengthening the breath. The root of citraka, its ash, and pippalī powder, taken with honey, cure asthma, cough, and hiccup. For disorders of the blood, blue lotus, sugar, licorice, and padmaka, mixed in equal parts with rice water, offer relief. Dry ginger and sugar, combined with honey and taken as a pill, grant a voice as sweet as the cuckoo’s song. To remove hair, orpiment and conch powder, together with the ash of banana leaves, may be rubbed on the skin. Alternatively, salt, orpiment, and the fruits of the tumbini plant, combined with lac resin, serve the same purpose. A mixture of lime, orpiment, conch shell ash, borax, and rock salt, ground with goat urine and applied as a paste, is also effective for hair removal. Conch, Indian gooseberry leaf, and the flowers of the dhataki plant, ground and mixed with milk, may be kept in the mouth for seven days to make the teeth smooth, white, and brilliantly clean. Hari then spoke of the proper use of curd: it should be avoided in autumn, summer, and spring, but is recommended in winter, late winter, and the rainy season. After eating, drinking sugar mixed with fresh butter enhances intelligence, and eating a measure of old jaggery grants a man the strength to unite with a thousand women. Powdered kuṣṭha, mixed with ghee and honey and eaten at bedtime, increases strength and prevents gray hair. A mixture of atasi, black gram, wheat, and long pepper, applied to the body with ghee and water, bestows the beauty and vigor of Kāma himself. Barley, sesame, ashwagandha, musali, sarala, and jaggery, when prepared together, make one youthful and strong. For relief from parinama pain and indigestion, hing, black salt, and dry ginger, taken with boiled water, are efficacious. Dhātaki and somarāji, ground with milk, can restore strength to the weak. The strong should lick fresh butter mixed with sugar and honey for nourishment and unsurpassed intellect. For consumption, powder of crab taken with milk is curative, as are bhallataka, vidanga, barley-alkali, and rock salt. Borax and conch powder, cooked in oil, will certainly remove hair. Hari then described methods to arrest fire: the juice of the mālūra fruit mixed with ground leech, when applied to the hands, is a potent remedy. The juice of the silk cotton tree placed in donkey urine and thrown into the fire will arrest it. The stomach of a vulture and the fat of a frog, made into a pill and cast into the fire, will also extinguish it. Chewing the bark of mundi, vacha, musta, black pepper, and tagara enables one to extinguish fire immediately with the tongue. For stambhana, or immobilization, equal parts of cow’s gall and bhringaraja powder mixed with clarified butter and divine water, when used with the mantra “Om, perform the immobilization of fire, perform it, perform it,” will serve as a means to halt fire. For the immobilization of water, Hari revealed the mantra: “Om, obeisance to the Blessed One, immobilize the water, saṃ saṃ saṃ, keka kekaḥ, moving and unmoving.” Recited with devotion, this mantra, O Shiva, halts the motion of water itself. Thus, Hari shared these sacred secrets, each remedy and practice a testament to divine compassion and wisdom, for the healing and upliftment of all who seek the path of well-being.
