Surana sweet balls

Black pepper, dry ginger, bhallataka and surana tuber, each in double the quantity of the one before, are ground together with an equal weight of jaggery and made into fragrant modakas; eaten daily, they are said to remove even the most stubborn piles, with no dietary restriction needed. A footnote gives the amounts as 1, 2, 4 and 8 tola with 15 tola of jaggery syrup.
