Answer

Study question (generated from the text)

Ghee is processed with liquorice, sugar, ativiṣā, indralatā and the three pungents; the poisoned person licks it and is then given a well-flavoured meal.

Detailed answer

The commentary says the ghee is prepared with a decoction and paste of these drugs and that it removes the pain of poison; the verse says a king who takes it can eat and drink without fear even if poison (gara) is brought to him.
