What the text says
Each statement reports the source, with its chapter, page and verse. Traditional descriptions are not presented as proven medical facts.
Definition1
Curd churned with an equal part of water is called udaśvit.
Properties2
Buttermilk is described as light (quick to digest) and hot, sour and astringent, dry, increasing the digestive fire and removing kapha, provoking pitta and vata disorders (after the word शुक्ल), and cleansing stool and urine.
Well-made udaśvit, scented, cooled, strained through fine cloth and clear as water, is said to remove all diseases and burning heat and to be nourishing; the verse calls it vṛṣya.
Diet2
Buttermilk is named as the suitable after-drink when eating boiled rice and the like.
The verse names sour buttermilk as the wholesome after-drink for salty foods.
Other1
Buttermilk (takra) is named with milk, ghee and curd among the products of mobile beings that, the translation says, are taken for use in medicines because they arise from causes of comfort such as the nourishment of those animals, touch and the suckling of calves.

Extraction notes
- The verse's शुक्लं (white) is kept by the commentary as 'शुक्ल'; it is unclear whether it marks the white kind of buttermilk or something it provokes.
- The lexicon lists उदश्वित् as an alias of ingredient_takra, but this text describes it separately from buttermilk, with different properties.
- Merged from ingredient_udashvit.
