He highlights the importance of timing and the potency of Himalayan herbs. Let's break down the key points:\n\n**Timing:** Indra emphasizes that \"now all this has to be implemented.\" This suggests the importance of opportune timing for Rasayana therapy, likely referring to specific seasons or periods in one's life.  This auspicious time maximizes the benefits of the treatment.\n\n**Source of Herbs:**  He specifies \"celestial drugs grown in the Himalayas.\"  The Himalayas, known for their pristine environment, are considered to enhance the medicinal properties of these herbs.\n\n**Maturity of Herbs:** The phrase \"prapta viryah\" indicates that the herbs must be mature and have reached their full potency for optimal efficacy.\n\n**List of Herbs:**  Indra provides a comprehensive list of rejuvenating herbs:\n\n| Herb Name (Sanskrit) | Common Name (where applicable) |\n|---|---| \n| Aindri | |\n| Brahmi | Bacopa monnieri |\n| Payasya | |\n| Kshirapushpi | |\n| Shravani | |\n| Mahashravani | |\n| Shatavari | Asparagus racemosus |\n| Vidari | Pueraria tuberosa |\n| Jivanti | Leptadenia reticulata |\n| Punarnava | Boerhavia diffusa |\n| Nagabala | |\n| Sthira | |\n| Vacha | Acorus calamus |\n| Chatra | |\n| Atichatra | |\n| Meda | |\n| Mahameda | |\n| Other Jivaniya herbs | Various vitalizing herbs |\n\n**Method of Consumption:**  Indra advises taking these herbs with milk for a period of six months. Milk is considered a nourishing and synergistic medium for enhancing the absorption and assimilation of the herbs.\n\n**Benefits:**  Consistent use of these Rasayanas for six months is said to yield numerous benefits, including:\n\n*   **Paramayurvaya:** Maximum lifespan\n*   **Tarunam Anamayatvam:** Youthful age and freedom from disease\n*   **Svara Varna Sampada:** Excellence of voice and complexion\n*   **Medha:** Enhanced intellect\n*   **Smriti:** Improved memory\n*   **Uttama Balam:** Superior strength\n*   **Ishtan Chaparan Bhavan:** Other desired qualities\n\nThis passage underscores the holistic approach of Ayurveda, using potent herbs in a specific manner to achieve overall well-being and longevity."}
