Vimalamitra is a famous Indian Saint, after who this formula has been named

Vimalamitra’s 84,000 Healing Therapies described the use of this formula: "A special therapy for vata (wind/rlung) in the heart: when the nine wicked spirit siblings are rampant, no one will be unaffected by this disease. The symptoms are depression, mental instability, disturbed thinking, pain and tightness in front and back of the upper body, lack of mental clarity, poor memory, being sad for no reason, restlessness, hostility, lethargy and agitation, shortness of breath, acute fainting. Because various illnesses arise, the method of healing them with medicine is demonstrated."

According to Traditional texts, this is a specific medicine for Heart wind which causes inability to Love.
