297 Tirmirra.--The best kind of this grows in gardens. It is hot
in the 2nd degree, dry in the 1st. When fresh, it is moist, and its
juice is excellent in wounds and ulcers; it is diuretic and aperient;
produces frequent inclination to aphrodisia, and causes blindness. Its
corrector is K·ou (Lettuce), or Kasni (Endive), or Koorfa, or Till. It
increases the secretion of semen, and thickens its consistence. It
is an antidote to the bite of the mongoose. If bruised and applied to
the root of the acid pomegranate it will render it sweet. A. Jerjeer.
