The bhallataka-seed paste (verse 97) and the bhallatakadi paste (verse 98), both made with burnt drugs in sesame oil.

Verse 96 says the kushtha pastes also apply to shvitra and announces colour-restoring pastes. The first uses bhallataka seed, chitraka, bilva pulp, bhringaraja, arka latex, orpiment and realgar, or the hides of leopard, tiger, elephant or deer; the second burns bhallataka, the three myrobalans, arka latex, sesame, the three pungents, vidanga, apamarga, kanjira, bitter gourds and neem seed.
