ऐन्द्री मत्स्याख्यको ब्राह्मी वचा ब्रह्मसुवर्चला । पिप्पल्यो लवणं हेम शङ्खपुष्पी विषं घृतम् ॥ २४ ॥
एषत्रियवकान् भागान् हेमसर्पिर्विषैर्विना । द्वौ यवौ तत्र हेम्नस्तु तिलं दद्याद्विषस्य च ॥ २५ ॥
सर्पिषश्च पलं दद्यात्तदैकध्यं प्रयोजयेत् । घृतप्रभूतं सक्षौद्रं जीर्णे वान्नं प्रशस्यते ॥ २६ ॥
जराव्याधिप्रशमनं स्मृतिमेधाकरं परम् । आयुष्यं पौष्टिकं धन्यं स्वरवर्णप्रसादनम् ॥ २७ ॥
परमोजस्करं चैतत् सिद्धमैन्द्रं रसायनम् । नैनत् प्रसहते कृत्या नालक्ष्मीर्न विषं न रुक् ॥ २८ ॥
श्वित्रं सकुष्ठं जठराणि गुल्माः प्लीहा पुराणो विषमज्वरध । मेधास्मृतिज्ञानहराश्च रोगाः शाम्यन्त्यनेनातिबलाश्च वाताः ॥ २९ ॥
