केवलं निरुपस्तम्भमादौ स्नेहैरुपाचरेत् । वायु सर्पिर्वसामज्जतैलपानैर्नरं ततः ॥ १ ॥
When Vata is alone (kevala—unassociated with other Doshas) and free from any obstruction or blocking factors (nirupastambha), it should be treated with oleation therapy (snehana) first. This is done by making the patient drink clarified butter (sarpi), muscle fat (vasa), bone marrow (majja), or medicated oil (taila).
