A footnote to the triphala rasāyana says the verse does not state the numbers of amalaki and bibhitaki properly, but other medical works say that where triphala is mentioned generally it is taken in this way, which is why the commentary states the numbers. The verse also gives no time for bibhitaki; eaten with haritaki the dose grows and the amalaki dose becomes smaller, so the commentator thinks one haritaki, two bibhitaki and three amalaki should be powdered together and taken in a suitable dose morning and evening, and that this must be the author's intent.

Why it is kept for review: Commentator's footnote on how to read the triphala proportions and timing; kept apart from the verse and commentary layers.

इस कारण से हम यह सम¤ाते हैं कि एक हरड, दो बहेडा, तीन आँवला इस क्रम से लेकर तीनों को एक साथ चूर्ण करके योग्य मात्रा से शाम-सुबह सेवन करना चाहिए। यही आचार्य का अभिप्राय होगा।
