FAQs

It recommends śobhāñjana (moringa) leaf juice mixed with honey, used as an eye application, as a disease-removing remedy.

Alongside afterlife and dharma topics, the text also preserves practical guidance—here, a simple therapeutic formulation attributed to Hari’s instruction.

Treat it as a traditional reference: consult a qualified practitioner before applying substances to the eyes, while appreciating the text’s emphasis on accessible, natural remedies.
