marmelos) ; and when it is digested, one should observe the diet pre« 
scribed in the case of the use of the decoction. 24 * 
(Verse 30.) The two formulas, above set forth by me, are the 
principal. If thou art not willing to make use of either, hear other for¬ 
mulas from my mouth. 
(Verse 31.) The third formula. After cleaning bulbs of garlic 
till they are as bright as a conch shell, they may be eaten with flour of 
parched grain, kulmasa and chukra, 25 well cooked with clarified butter 
and oil, after the manner of broths and meats, accompanied with mashed 
beans and green vegetables, well seasoned with some aromatic substance 2 ^ 
and sonchal salt. Or they may be eaten prepared in many other ways* 
Such others 27 are as follows : 
(Verse 32.) The fourth formula. Having boiled one and a half 
bunches of stalks of garlic with meat, one may give this savoury broth 
to drink, after it has clarified ; one may add to it an equal quantity of 
boiled milk, either pure or mixed with a decoction of pulse. 
(Verse 33.) How the fifth formula : garlic together with oil and 
sukt-a 25 , placed in a quantity of barley, should be plastered round with 
clay and allowed to stand for a year; a person partaking of this will 
get rid of diseases even (if of long standing). 28 
(Verse 34.) The sixth. If by an apathetic man tuga (manna of 
bamboos) is allowed to stand for three nights, then half of it should be 
caused by that man to be prepared with garlic .

26 Kulmdsa and chukra or sukta are two kinds of sour gruel. As to the latter 
see Dr. Dntt’s Mat. Med., p. 12. See also note 23, above. 
26 Gandha is the name of several aromatic substances: valerian, sandal, myrrh, 
aloe-wood, camphor, saffron, etc.; hence the term gandh&shtaka or ‘ the eight fragrant 
substances.’ I do not know which of these may here be intended, or whether any 
particular aromatic is intended.—On sonchal see Dutt’s Mat. Med., p. 85. 
27 I thus translate the itardni of the text, supplying sddhandni. But I am not sure 
about the meaning of the phrase. The same phrase occurs in the prose portion after 
verse 35, below, where kalpdh may be supplied with Hard. Possibly itarani is an

should be understood: “hear from me the following other preparations made in 
many other ways.” The sense remains the same.
