The heat in the heads of elephants, the bitumen of mountains, the moss that floats on water, the slough of snakes, the sores that appear in the hoofs of bulls, the barren tracts of Earth full of saline matter, the dullness of vision of all animals, the diseases in the throats of horses, the crests appearing on the heads of peacocks, the eye-disease of the koel, each of these was named Fever by the great Mahadeva.
शीर्षाभितापो नागानां पर्वतानां शिलाजतु। अपां तु नीलिका विद्यान्निर्मोकं भुजगेषु च॥ खोरकः सौरभेयाणामूषरं पृथिवीतले। पशूनामपि धर्मज्ञ दृष्टिप्रत्यवरोधनम्॥ रन्ध्रागतमथाश्वानां शिखो दश्च बर्हिणाम्। नेत्ररोगः कोकिलस्य ज्वरः प्रोक्तो महात्मना॥
