What happens in this chapter
Remedies for cows, buffaloes and horses
Hari gives Shiva a short list of cures for animals. A cow that turns away her own calf should be given her own milk mixed with salt, and the calf becomes dear to her again. A dog's bone tied at the neck of a buffalo or cow is said to make worms fall away. The juice of varuna fruit, churned by hand, clears worms from four-footed and two-footed beings alike. A wound heals when filled with jaya. Elephant urine given to drink drives off epidemic sickness among cows and buffaloes. Masura and shali seed ground in buttermilk benefit the milk of cows. Sharapunkha leaf with salt cures water blisters on horses, and aloe leaf ends the itching of their manes.
हरिरुवाच
शुनोऽस्थि कण्ठबद्धं हि महिषाणां गवा तथा ।
कृमिजालं पातयति सकलं नात्र संशयः
śuno'sthi kaṇṭhabaddhaṃ hi mahiṣāṇāṃ gavā tathā |
kṛmijālaṃ pātayati sakalaṃ nātra saṃśayaḥ
गोजङ्गनाभिपातः स्याद्गुञ्जामूलस्य भक्षणात्
gojaṅganābhipātaḥ syādguñjāmūlasya bhakṣaṇāt
वरुणफलस्यरसं करेण मथितं शिव ।
चतुष्पादद्विपदयोः कृमिजालं निपातयेत्
varuṇaphalasyarasaṃ kareṇa mathitaṃ śiva |
catuṣpādadvipadayoḥ kṛmijālaṃ nipātayet
व्रणञ्च शमयेद्रुद्र जयायाः पूरणात्तथा ।
गजमूत्रस्य वै पानं गोमहिष्युपसर्गनुत्
vraṇañca śamayedrudra jayāyāḥ pūraṇāttathā |
gajamūtrasya vai pānaṃ gomahiṣyupasarganut
समसूर शालिबीजं पीतं तक्रेण घर्षितम् ।
क्षीरे गोमहीषस्यैव गोः पुंसश्च हितं भवेत्
samasūra śālibījaṃ pītaṃ takreṇa gharṣitam |
kṣīre gomahīṣasyaiva goḥ puṃsaśca hitaṃ bhavet
पत्रञ्च शरपुङ्खाया दत्तं सलवणं शिव ।
वारिस्फोटं हयानाञ्च केसराणां विनाशयेत्
patrañca śarapuṅkhāyā dattaṃ salavaṇaṃ śiva |
vārisphoṭaṃ hayānāñca kesarāṇāṃ vināśayet
घृतकुमारीपत्रमेव दत्तं सलक्षणं हर ।
तुरगमकेसराणां कण्डूनंश्येन्न संशयः
ghṛtakumārīpatrameva dattaṃ salakṣaṇaṃ hara |
turagamakesarāṇāṃ kaṇḍūnaṃśyenna saṃśayaḥ
