It gives an Ayurvedic formulation—samaṅgā, dhātakī-flower, lodhra, and nīlotpala in a specified dose (tripalā)—to be administered with milk as an anupāna, indicated for āmlapitta and for treating women’s pradara (abnormal discharge).
Beyond theology, the Agni Purana preserves practical healthcare knowledge: precise materia medica, dosage language (pala), vehicle of administration (milk), and clinical indications (āmlapitta, pradara), showing its wide-ranging compendium style.
