sanskrit

Now, we will discuss the preparation process of the decoction of oily substances. Some say that the portion derived from the bark, leaves, fruits, and roots should be four parts, and the water should be four parts as well, which should be decocted and then strained. This is the method for preparing the decoction. When the oil is prepared, six parts of oil are mixed with four parts of liquid, creating a balanced mixture of herbal preparations, and this is the method of preparing oil. However, this is not correct. Why? Because it is not supported by scripture.
