1891.] Dr. Hoernle — An instalment of the Bower Manuscript. 195 
(Verse 129.) In a prastlia of tlie juice of Kantakari ( Solatium 
jacquinii ) one should boil a kudava 17 of clarified butter with a paste of 
Punarnava ( 'Boerhaavia diffusa'). This is an excellent remedy against 
cough due to derangement of the wind. 
(Verse 130.) One should boil a paste of Bhargi ( Rhus succedanea) 
and clarified butter, mixed with an equal quantity of the juice of 
Vyaghri (Solanum jacquinii in four parts of curdled milk. This makes 
an excellent remedy for cough due to derangement of the wind. 91 
(Verse 131a.) In the case of a bilious cough the drinking of clarified 
butter together with the use of purgatives is beneficial. 
90 Vyaghri is another name of Kantakari; see e. g., the formula No. 3, on p. 220 
of Dutt’s Mat. Med. 
91 This formula is found, verbally the same, in the Vangasena, p. 261, verse 17, 
where it is called the “ bhdrgy-ddi-ghrita .” The second half-line reads here bhargi- 
rasam dvigunitain, but this is certain to be a false reading for vydghri-rasarn, as 
the bhdrgi is already included in the first part of the formula. The traces ‘ vdghi ’ 
are quite distinct in our MS. The phrase vydghrt-rasa-dvigunitam, lit. ‘doubled 
by the juice of Vyaghri’, I take to mean “ Vyaghri juice equal in quantity to the 
other two ingredients”; but it might also mean “two parts of Vyaghri”; and 
this latter would be the only meaning of the reading (rasam) in the Vangasena. 
Practically, however, it makes no difference, whichever translation is adopted.
