स्नेहाक्तं सूच्यनुस्यूतं सूत्रं चानु निधापयेत् । आमतैलेन सिञ्चेच्च बहलां तद्वदारया ॥ ३५ ॥

After piercing, a thread smeared with oil or ghee should be passed through the hole following the path of the needle. The site should then be bathed with raw (uncooked) oil. Similarly, if the earlobe is thick, it should be pierced using a thicker needle (Ara).
