Ground is burnt with dried vata-reducing trees, sesame oil cooked with their decoction and paste is poured on it and left overnight, and the oil-soaked earth is boiled next day to recover the oil. This oil is cooked a thousand times with sour liquids, curd, milk and vata-reducing decoctions and pastes, perfumed, worshipped and stored in silver or gold pots. The text says only the very wealthy can prepare it and that using it removes all vata disorders.
