स्वमणिं भास्करस्योस्रा यथा देहं च देहधृक् |
विशन्ति च न दृश्यन्ते ग्रहास्तद्वच्छरीरिणम् ||१९||

Images of the objects are present in the mirror, water, oil etc. Feelings of heat and cold are present in the living beings. Red colour is present in the gem of the sun i.e. ruby. The soul is present in the body. But these are not visible. Similarly, the grahas are present in the body but are not visible.

न ते मनुष्यैः सह संविशन्ति न वा मनुष्यान् क्वचिदाविशन्ति |
ये त्वाविशन्तीति वदन्ति मोहात्ते भूतविद्याविषयादपोह्याः ||२१||

These grahas neither remain with human beings nor enter into their bodies suddenly. If anyone says so, it is due to ignorance and they being devoid of any knowledge of Bhuta Vidya i.e. demonology.

तेषां ग्रहाणां परिचारका ये कोटीसहस्रायुतपह्मसङ्ख्याः |
असृग्वसामांसभुजः सुभीमा निशाविहाराश्च तमाविशन्ति ||२२||

The grahas which are likely to attack (seize or posses) the human beings are –

–        the attendants of these grahas who are crores and crores in numbers,

–        who consume blood, fat and flesh,

–        who are terrific and

–        move at nights

निशाचराणां तेषां हि ये देवगणमाश्रिताः |
ते तु तत्सत्त्वसंसर्गाद्विज्ञेयास्तु तदञ्जनाः ||२३||
देवग्रहा इति पुनः प्रोच्यन्तेऽशुचयश्च ये |
देववच्च नमस्यन्ते प्रत्यर्थ्यन्ते च देववत् ||२४||
स्वामिशीलक्रियाचाराः क्रम एष सुरादिषु |
निरृतेर्या दुहितरस्तासां स प्रसवः स्मृतः ||२५||

Among these Nisacaras i.e. night prowlers, the attendants serving the deva gana (gods or group of divine beings) should be recognized by seeing that they too have qualities of mind similar to the Deva Grahas. Among them, those who are clean, have pure mind and are indulged in pure activities are identified as Deva Grahas itself. They are worshipped and prayed for. They are the children of Niruti i.e. grandfather of demons and they cannot discard the qualities of their birth and family.

These attendants being pure, follow the scriptures and perform activities accordingly. Therefore they are included under Deva Gana itself.

सत्यत्वादपवृत्तेषु वृत्तिस्तेषां गणैः कृता |
हिंसाविहारा ये केचिद्देवभावमुपाश्रिताः ||२६||
भूतानीति कृता सञ्ज्ञा तेषां सञ्ज्ञाप्रवक्तृभिः |२७|
The deva etc ganas enter the persons who have deviated from truth, cleanliness etc and afflict (possess) them.

People who designate things by words have given the name Bhuta to those attendants who indulge in harming others and have abandoned the qualities of Devas.

ग्रहसञ्ज्ञानि भूतानि यस्मद्वेत्त्यनया भिषक् ||२७||
विद्यया भूतविद्यात्वमत एव निरुच्यते |२८|

Bhutas are also known as Grahas. Therefore, the physician should try to understand the Bhutas by studying Bhuta Vidya i.e. demonology.

तेषां शान्त्यर्थमन्विच्छन् वैद्यस्तु सुसमाहितः ||२८||
जपैः सनियमैर्होमैरारभेत चिकित्सितुम् |२९|

The physician who is desirous of pacifying the grahas / bhutas should commence the treatment of persons seized by them with the below mentioned methods –

–        japa – meditation,

–        niyama – keeping vows and

–        homa – fire sacrifices

Cikitsa karma – modes of treatment

रक्तानि गन्धमाल्यानि बीजानि मधुसर्पिषी ||२९||
भक्ष्याश्च सर्वे सर्वेषां सामान्यो विधिरुच्यते |३०|

The common methods adopted in the treatment (to combat) of all Bhutas include offering –

–        red coloured scents and garlands,

–        seeds such as sarsapa, yava etc.

–        honey,

–        ghee and

–        different kinds of bhaksya – eatables or snacks

वस्त्राणि गन्धमाल्यानि मांसानि रुधिराणि च
यानि येषां यथेष्टानि तानि तेभ्यः प्रदापयेत् ||३०||

–        garments,

–        scents,

–        garlands,

–        flesh and

–        blood

हिंसन्ति मनुजान् येषु प्रायशो दिवसेषु तु ||३१||
दिनेषु तेषु देयानि तद्भूतविनिवृत्तये |३२|

For driving away the Bhutas, the offerings should be especially made on those days on which the grahas might generally cause harm to the person.

देवग्रहे देवगृहे हुत्वाऽग्निं प्रा(दा) पयेद्वलिम् ||३२||
कुशस्वस्तिकपूपाज्यच्छत्रपायससम्भृतम् |
असुराय यथाकालं विदध्याच्चत्वरादिषु ||३३||

शून्यागारे पिशाचस्य तीव्रं बलिमुपाहरेत् |३७|

पूर्वमाचरितैर्मन्त्रैर्भूतविद्यानिदर्शितैः ||३७||
न शक्या बलिभिर्जेतुं योगैस्तान् समुपाचरेत् |३८|

The grahas which do not respond to the hymns prescribed in the texts of Bhuta Vidya cannot be conquered (subjugated or driven away) by merely offering oblations. They should be treated by administering medicinal formulae.

अजर्क्षचर्मरोमाणि शल्यकोलूकयोस्तथा ||३८||
हिङ्गु मूत्रं च बस्तस्य धूममस्य प्रयोजयेत् |
एतेन शाम्यति क्षिप्रं बलवानपि यो ग्रहः ||३९||

Even powerful Grahas become quickly subjugated when the patient is exposed to the smoke of hairs of goat, bear, porcupine and owl, hingu (asafoetida) and goat’s urine.

गजाह्वपिप्पलीमूलव्योषामलकसर्षपान् |
गोधानकुलमार्जारऋष्यपित्तप्रपेषितान् ||४०||
नस्याभ्यञ्जनसेकेषु विदध्याद्योगतत्त्ववित् |४१

खराश्वाश्वतरोलूककरभश्वशृगालजम् ||४१||
पुरीषं गृध्रकाकानां वराहस्य च पेषयेत् |
बस्तमूत्रेण तत्सिद्धं तैलं स्यात् पूर्ववद्धितम् ||४२||

Dung of donkey, horse, mule, owl, camel, dog, jackal, eagle, crow and boar should be macerated with goat’s urine. Oil should be prepared with this macerated dung. This oil should be used as said earlier.

शिरीषबीजं लशुनं शुण्ठीं सिद्धार्थकं वचाम् |
मञ्जिष्ठां रजनीं कृष्णां बस्तमूत्रेण पेषयेत् ||४३||

नक्तमालफलं व्योषं मूलं श्योनाकबिल्वयोः ||४४||
हरिद्रे च कृता वर्त्यः पूर्ववन्नयनाञजनम् |४५|

ये ये ग्रहा न सिध्यन्ति सर्वेषां नयनाञ्जनम् |४६|

हन्यादल्पेन कालेन स्नेहादिरपि च क्रमः |५४|

Below mentioned ingredients collectively comprise of Aparajita Varga or Gana –

–        Old ghee,

–        Medicinal herbs – Lasuna, hingu, siddharthaka, vaca, ajalomi, golomi, bhutakesi, jata, kukkuti, sarpagandha, kana, vikanika, vajraprokta, vayastha, srngi, mohanavallika, arkamula, trikatuka, lata, srotanjana, nepali (manassila), haritala,

–        Rakshoghna Dravyas like – excreta, leather, hairs, fat, urine, blood, bile, nails etc. of lion, tiger, bear, cat, panther, horse, cow, ox, porcupine, hedgehog, iguana, camel and mongoose

From these ingredients, the physician should prepare medicated oil and ghee.

This oil and ghee shall be used in different forms i.e. for drinking, anointing, errhines (nasal medication / drops) and avapida nasya. The same ingredients can be made into sticks for use as collyrium. Decoction prepared from these ingredients is used for pouring on the body. They can also be made into dusting powder. Nice paste prepared from this powder should be used for poultice. This Aparajita Gana cures diseases of the mind in quick time when administered along with oleation therapy etc.

न चाचौक्षं प्रयुञ्जीत प्रयोगं देवताग्रहे ||५४||
ऋते पिशाचादन्यत्र प्रतिकूलं न चाचरेत् |५५|
वैद्यातुरौ निहन्युस्ते ध्रुवं क्रुद्धा महौजसः ||५५||

No unclean things should be offered to Deva Grahas as oblation.

No other Graha should be treated with forbidden things other than Pisaca Graha.

If this is done, these grahas being very powerful would become enraged and will surely kill both the physician and patient.

हिताहितीये यच्चोक्तं नित्यमेव समाचरेत् |
ततः प्राप्स्यति सिद्धिं च यशश्च विपुलं भिषक् ||५६||

All regimens of foods and activities indicated in Hitahitiya Adhyaya i.e. Sutra Sthana Section, chapter 20, should be adopted in practice daily. Only by doing so, the physician would attain success in treatment and great reputation.

इति श्री सुश्रुतसंहितायामुत्तरतन्त्रान्तर्गते भूतविद्यातन्त्रेऽमानुषोपसर्गप्रतिषेधोनाम (प्रथमोऽध्यायः, आदितः) षष्टितमोऽध्यायः।।६०।।

Thus ends the sixtieth chapter by name Amanusopasarga Pratiședha in Uttara Sthana of Suśruta Samhita.
