How is a decoction made when a ghee recipe gives no rule, and whose opinions does the text cite?

Detailed answer

Verse 23 gives the decoction rule with these two opinions. Verse 24 then gives Pujyapada's rule for cooking oil and ghee: the decoction reduced to a quarter is cooked with half as much milk, half as much fat and drug paste a quarter of the fat until only the fat remains. Verse 25 accepts all the teachers' differing views and names three grades of cooking: mild, sticky and hard-sticky.
