white pipper[1] and Nepála-játa (Realgar-lit, that which is produced in Nepála) taken in equal parts and pasted together with the expressed juice of Mátulanga, would alleviate the itching sensation (Kandu) in the eyes. Similarly a compound of S'ringa-vera, Devadáru, Musta, Saindhavá salt and buds of Játi flowers pasted together with wine and used as an Anjana would prove efficacious in a case of swelling (Śopha) and itching sensation of the eyes. The above eye-diseases should be judiciously treated in accordance with the principles laid down in the treatment of the cases of Abhi-shyanda and Adhi-mantha. 10.
Thus ends the eleventh chapter of the Uttara-Tantra in the Sus'ruta Samhitá which treats of the curative treatment of S'leshmabhishyanda.
