Extraction notes

  • The commentary renders शिलोद्भव as पत्थर का फूल and the verse compounds शिलोद्भववल्कल, शिलोत्थवल्कल, शिलामलवल्कल and उपलवल्कल as शिलावल्क or शिला की छाल; in verse 15 it names पत्थर का फूल and शिलावल्क side by side. They are kept under one new id because verse 20 sums up verses 13-19 as a single kalpa of upalavalkala. The text names shilajatu separately, so this is not ingredient_shilajatu.
