- The verse reads शिलोद्धवकल्क, लोह, कांत, अतिनील and घन; the commentary lists शिलाजीत, पत्थर का फूल, इनका कल्क, लोहभस्म, नागरमोथा, अतिनील and बडी इलायची without pairing them one to one, so they are given as the commentary reads them. The indication is all diseases, so no condition id is given. Supervision flag set for iron calx.
