Answer

Study question (generated from the text)

A ghee pot is heated in fire, leaves of jambu, kapittha, tulasi, mango and citron are boiled in it, it is washed with fragrant water, smeared inside with pepper and pippali in sugar water, perfumed with flowers and bound outside with cords.

Detailed answer

After the medicine, jaggery and khadira decoction are put in, the mouth is sealed and the pot is buried in a pit filled with grain. The text says every such nectar-like preparation (every arishta, in the commentary) is made this way; the danti and iron preparation is taken out after seven days, fifteen days or a month, and the ash-water preparation after a month.
