Answer

Study question (generated from the text)

Food free of salt and sour things, and one tula in all (5 ser in the commentary); one who does so is said to live a hundred years free of disease.

Detailed answer

Verses 119-121 describe making the ash with sixteen heatings and taking it with ghee and sugar after judging strength, saying it removes kushtha, spleen disease, piles and pandu and gives strength, youthfulness and comfort. Verse 122 adds the diet and the one-tula course, and the commentary concludes that it is a rasayana.
