Measure of the uttarabasti fluid

Uttarabasti is oily or of decoction. The commentary gives the fat as one pala (four tola) for men, half a pala for women and a quarter pala for girls under twelve, and the decoction as one prasrita for all; to cleanse the uterus both are doubled. A footnote says prasrita here means not two pala but as much fluid as fills the patient's palm from the roots of the fingers.
