Bark of cinnamon (as the commentary reads tvak), aralu, kutaja, mango, kadamba and jambu is ground with thick rice water, wrapped in banana leaves and cooked by the putapaka method; squeezed, it yields a fragrant red juice, which is drunk cool with a paste of liquorice and is said to overcome diarrhoea very quickly. Alternatively ambashthika, a juicy pomegranate and tinduka cooked in buttermilk are drunk. A footnote says ambashthika can also mean patha.
