The information about the rare herbs of Sathuragiri Mountain continues in this post also. 

Vennaaval

In the most of the trees seen in the western side of the Sathuragiri Mountain, Vennaaval virutcham  is one important tree among them. Its flower, fruit will be white in color. Remove the upper layers of the bark and take the inner layers and make kuzhith thailam out of it. If we rub that thailam on the slightly heated copper sheet for 40 times it will turn into silver. If we change that silver to sendhooram* and mix with the powder of the vennaava tree bark. Eat 488 mg of that powder six times a day for three days. Then we can attain kaaya siddhi.

Kanaierumai Virutcham

In the Sathuragiri Mountain if we walk towards west of the Nandeeswarar ashram for a while we can find this tree. It will look like South Indian mahua tree. Its fruit will be round in shape. If anybody stands under the tree, then the tree will sound like a buffalo. If we prick the tree we will get milk. If we drink that milk for four days we will get swoon. If someone gives cow’s milk to drink at regular intervals, we may get relieved from swoon and will attain kaaya siddhi.

Pavalaththuththi

To the north of the kanaierumai tree, at a distance an arrow can travel, we find this plant. It looks like marshmallow plant and the leaves tip are red in color. The leafstalk and its stem are red in color too. Its flower is in color of coral. If we powder the leaves and add it to the cow’s milk and drink for a week we can attain kaaya siddhi.

Uroamavirutcham

If we walk 48 minutes downwards to the Ramadevar’s ashram we can find more uroamavirutcham trees. It will be in the colour of ash. Its branches will be like hairs and if we touch it will as soft as cotton. Its bark has to crushed into powder without the help of the iron. Take thirikadi piramanam* quantity of it and mix in honey and eat for 48 days to attain kaaya siddhi. The urine of the person who attains this kaaya siddhi have effect on the panchaloga*.

(There is a story which says that the urine of Sivavaakkiyar has changed iron and it turned into gold. That’s because he might have ate some kaya kalpa of this kind.)

If we make hole one this tree’s bark and pour mercury in the hole and cover the hole by tree’s bark itself. If you see it after 45 days, it will become solid. Take the bark of this tree, grind it with that solid and make a shield. Do pudamiduthal and melt to solid balls. If we put that solid mercury ball in mouth then the cut through a knife or a hit by an arrow causes no harm. Also we can prevent white hairs, wrinkles, aging, diseases and attain kaaya  siddhi.

*Sendhooram – any chemical or metallic compound used medicinally
*Thirikadi Piramanam – the quantity taken using the tip of three fingers
*Panchaloga  - the five metals of gold, iron, copper, lead and silver
