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
Поедая harītakī по две (две штуки или две дозы), человек живёт счастливо сто лет. Так же и Triphalā, соединённая с pippalī и принимаемая после смешения с гхи, даёт тот же результат.
