“Brahma, Daksa, Asvina, Rudra, Indra, Earth, Moon, Sun, Air, Fire, Sages, medicinal plants and multitude of creatures may protect you.This drug may prove for you as ''Rasayana'' for the sages, nectar for the gods and ambrosia for the best among serpents.”

After enchanting thus, the physician should administer the drug to the patient facing northward or eastward particularly suffering from ''kaphaja'' fever, ''gulma'' and coryza time and again until bile begins to come out. Thus he vomits well. If the urges are deficient, they should be moved by administering paste of ''Pippali, Amalaka, Sarsapa, Vacha'' and salt dissolved in hot water frequently till bile is seen. This is the entire method of administration of emetic drugs. [14]
