देहेन्द्रियमनस्तापी सर्वरोगाग्रजो बली । ज्वरः प्रधानो रोगाणामुक्तो भगवता पुरा ॥ ४ ॥
तस्य प्राणिसपत्नस्य ध्रुवस्य प्रलयोदये । प्रकृतिं च प्रवृत्ति च प्रभावं कारणानि च ॥ ५ ॥
पूर्वरूपमधिष्ठानं बलकालात्मलक्षणम् । व्यासतो विधिमेदाश्च पृथग्भिन्नस्य चाकृतिम् ॥ ६ ॥
लिङ्गमामस्य जीर्णस्य सौषधं च क्रियाक्रमम् । विमुञ्चतः प्रशान्तस्य चिह्नं यश्च पृथक् पृथक् ॥ ७ ॥
