मृतसञ्जीवनीकरसिद्धयोगः (Mṛtasañjīvanī-kara Siddha-yogaḥ) — Perfected Formulations for Revivification and Disease-Conquest
द्वे द्वे खादेद्धरीतक्यौ जीवेद्वर्षशतं सुखी त्रिफला पिप्पलीयुक्ता सम्ध्वाज्या तथैव सा
dve dve khādeddharītakyau jīvedvarṣaśataṃ sukhī triphalā pippalīyuktā samdhvājyā tathaiva sā
Dengan memakan harītakī dua demi dua (dua biji/dua dos), seseorang hidup bahagia hingga seratus tahun. Demikian juga Triphalā yang digabungkan dengan pippalī dan diambil setelah dicampur dengan ghee memberikan kesan yang sama.
