Answer
Study question (generated from the text)
A footnote defines it as the basti given into the male organ, or into the urinary passage and uterus of women, named so because it is given after the niruha. It is oily or of decoction: the fat is one pala (four tola) for men, half a pala for women and a quarter pala for girls under twelve, and the decoction one prasrita for all; to cleanse the uterus both are doubled.
Detailed answer
Its nozzle is said to have the shape of the stalk of a jasmine (malati) flower. A footnote says prasrita here means as much fluid as fills the patient's palm from the roots of the fingers, not two pala. It is given three or four times according to the strength of the disease, and the chapter calls it the chief means of removing the defects of semen and menstrual blood.
