स्नेहनं शोधनं चैव द्विविधं नावनं मतम्। प्रतिमर्शस्तु नस्यार्थं करोति न च दोषावान्॥११६॥

॥ Types of navana (unctuous errhines)॥ Unctuous errhine (all errhines for that matter) is of two types- oleating and purificatory. Pratimarsha (low dose unctuous errhine) serves both the purpose and does not produce any ill effects.
