पक्वेन वटकाः कार्या गुडेन सितयापि वा । परं हि वह्निसम्पर्काल्लघिमानं भजन्ति ते ॥ २१ ॥

These pills (vaṭakas) should be made by cooking the formulation with either jaggery or sugar over a fire, because processing them through direct contact with heat makes the medicine exceptionally light (laghu) and easy to digest.
