Part II abruptly ends on the 33rd folio of the Bower manuscript.[1] It is voluminous, relative to the other six treatises, and contains medical prescriptions sections on powder, medicated ghee (clarified butter), oil, elixirs, aphrodisiacs, decoctions, dyes and ointments.[2][3] It opens with a salutation addressed to the Tathāgatas, contains, as stated by the scribe, the Navanītaka text (lit. "cream" text[16]), a standard manual (siddhasaṃkarṣa).[18] Then it states its intention to provide 16 chapters of prescriptions (but the surviving fragment only provides 14, ending abruptly).[16] According to G.J. Meulenbeld, "an important peculiarity of the Bower MS consists of its varying attitude towards the number of the doṣas [humours]. In many instances, it accepts the traditional number of three, vāta, pitta, and kapha, but in a smaller number of passages it also appears to accept blood (rakta) as a doṣa."[19]
