Study question (generated from the text)
A stick of bilva, shyonaka, patala, gambhari or agnimantha (one or all five) is wrapped in cloth over three parts, soaked in oil and lit like a wick held tip down; the oil dripping into a vessel below is dipika oil.
Detailed answer
The footnote gives the stick as eighteen angula long and says oil can be drawn the same way from devadaru, kushtha and sarala wood. Verse 24 has the ear washed with a decoction of trivrit, turmeric, aragvadha and kutaja and then filled with dipika oil, which is said to destroy worms and severe pain.
