Now ask the patient to collect, sesame seeds endowed with all qualities and harvested in the autumn. After winnowing and cleaning these seeds, they should be immersed in the lukewarm decoction of vidanga till the noxious material comes out. Then again cleaning them well, they should be dipped in the decoction of vidanga and dried in the sun. The process should be repeated for twenty one times. There after powdering it in a mortar and again grinding it finely on stone slab one should keep it in a tub and sprinkling the vidanga decoction over it again and again one should press it with hands. During this process, whatever oil comes out, should be collected by hands and kept in a clean and strong jar which should be stored in a protected place.
