Medicine! O medicine!
For eye sores, tumors, and swollen neck glands,
and for jaundice, there is medicine!
But for the girl crying that her neck aches
just because she has no gold coin necklace, is there any medicine?
No!
There is!
Go ahead and tell us!
Heat a rod of pure gold over the fire,
and give her two lashes on the back with it—
she will be cured!
It is the life-giving Chinthamani medicine!
Traditional Siddha medicine!
Medicine! O medicine!
Written on palm leaves, the eighteen Siddhars (ancient yogic sages)
graciously shared these through songs!
Written on palm leaves, the eighteen Siddhars (ancient yogic sages)
graciously shared these through songs!
It is good to keep these superior medicines
in every single household!
For eczema, ringworm, scabs, and skin rashes,
we will provide ointments you can rub on!

Those suffering from love-sickness
can take the pill of marriage!

To live happily without any hardship,
one can consume Kayakalpam (the herbal elixir of longevity)!
To live happily without any hardship,

If that is out of reach, for instant comfort,
just flatter the rich to get your meal!
Forest herbs from our native healers—
medicine! O medicine!
To gain true physical health and wellness,
many have taken these and proved their power!
If the throat that sings songs
chokes up and feels hard as rock,
make a soup from a wild cuckoo
and tell them to drink it!
For legs that have lost their dance,
apply oil made of peacock legs
and tell them to massage it firmly
for twenty-four days (half a mandalam cycle)!
For an unbearable toothache,
there is a quick remedy:
tell them to pick a fight with a thug
and see what happens!
To keep jet-black hair on the head
from ever turning gray,
tell them to swallow a black crow
completely alive!
Tell them to swallow a big raven
completely alive!
Medicine! O medicine!
Medicine! O medicine!
