Properties1
The same footnote says vamshalochana also destroys kapha.
Other1
A footnote on Talisadi modaka records the variant reading तुंगमवि बहुलां, under which vamshalochana would be taken in place of cinnamon; it objects that the word for vamshalochana is तुगा, not तुंग, and that तुंग names no other drug, but since vamshalochana occurs in Talisadi powder it may be taken.
