लाक्षानिर्गुण्डीभृङ्गदार्वीरसेन श्रेष्ठं कार्पासं भावितं सप्तकृत्वः । दीपः प्रज्वाल्यः सर्पिषा तत्समुत्था श्रेष्ठा पिल्लानां रोपणार्थे मषी सा ॥ ५७ ॥

sanskrit

Good cotton is soaked in the juices of lākṣā – Laccifer lacca, nirguṇḍī – Vitex negundo, bhṛṅga – Eclipta alba and dārvī – Berberis aristata for seven times and made into wick; that wick is soaked in ghee, lighted (as a burning lamp) and the soot emanating from it is collected. This, if applied as a collyrium is best to heal Pilla rogas.
