प्रियङ्गुकृष्णाघनकल्कयुक्तः सतैलसर्पिर्मधुसैन्धवश्च। स्याद्दीपनो मांसबलप्रदश्च चक्षुर्बलं चोपदधाति सद्यः॥६॥
To this preparation, a medicinal paste (kalka) of priyaṅgu (Callicarpa macrophylla), kṛṣṇā (Pippalī / Piper longum), and ghana (Mustā / Cyperus rotundus) is added, along with sesame oil, ghee, honey, and rock salt (saindhava), to form an enema (vasti). This formulation kindles the digestive fire (dīpana), nourishes bodily tissue and muscular strength (māṃsa-bala-prada), and immediately enhances the strength of vision (cakṣur-balaṃ upadadhāti sadyaḥ).

Each herb in the paste, along with tārkṣyaśaila (Rasāñjana / alternative: extract of Berberis aristata), should measure one akṣa (approx. 12g) in weight, and a matching portion of rock salt (lavaṇa) should be added. This mixture is then thoroughly blended with honey (mākṣika), sesame oil, and cow's urine (mūtra) to form an enema (vasti). This therapeutic enema possesses powerful scraping (lekhana) and digestive-kindling (dīpana) properties.
