Context: This verse describes the preparation and dosage of a phanta (cold infusion) or a kalka (paste-in-water) type Ayurvedic formulation.

The dose is 2 palas (~96 ml) of the stirred preparation.

Here is the word-by-word translation of this Sanskrit verse (Ayurvedic literature, likely Charaka Samhita or Ashtanga Hridayam):

Clinical/Ayurvedic Context:
This verse describes an anti-alcoholic / madatyaya (alcohol intoxication/hangover) remedy in the form of a manth - a cold stirred preparation. The ingredients are notable:
| Ingredient | Ayurvedic Action |
|---|---|
| खर्जूर (Date) | Brimhana (nourishing), relieves thirst |
| दाडिमी (Pomegranate) | Deepana (digestive), tridosha-balancing |
| द्राक्षा (Raisins/Grapes) | Anulomana, liver-protective |
| तिन्तिडीक (Tamarind) | Pachana (digestive), sour |
| आम्लिका (Sorrel) | Amla rasa, digestive |
| आमलक (Gooseberry) | Rasayana, hepatoprotective |
| परूष (Phalsa) | Cooling, cardiac tonic |
Together, these sour, sweet, and nourishing fruits counter the Vata-Pitta aggravation caused by alcohol, restore electrolytes, support the liver, and relieve the symptoms of madatyaya (alcoholic disorders).
