Answer

Study question (generated from the text)

Tarpana is holding eye-beneficial juices or ghee in the eyes of the patient lying on his back; putapaka is juice squeezed from a leaf-wrapped, clay-coated ball of drugs roasted in a cow-dung fire and put into the eyes like tarpana.

Detailed answer

The note follows verse 133 on vata-type abhishyanda. It names mango and similar leaves for wrapping and says the clay and leaves are removed before the ball is squeezed.
