The subsequent chapters explain procedure of ''[[basti]]'' in [[Bastisutriyam Siddhi]], complications of unctuous enema in [[Snehavyapat Siddhi]], instrumental defects in [[Netrabastivyapat Siddhi]] followed by complications of emesis and purgation in [[Vamana Virechana Vyapat Siddhi]]. Here the author has defined the qualities of ''oushadha'' (drug) in general like lesser in quantity providing quick actions, easily assimilated, palatable etc.  These specifications mentioned here provide an edge over conventional definition of drug in contemporary medicine. In the forthcoming chapter the complications associated with procedure of decoction enema is detailed. The methodology of explaining the complications (''vyapat'') highlights the clinical precision with respect to etiology, manifestations and management of complications. In the next chapter named [[Prasrita Yogiyam Siddhi]], the author enlists a number of special ''[[basti]]'' formulations with specific actions like virility enhancers, complexion promoters, semenotropics etc. It is interesting to note that different types of diarrhea and their management strategies are also detailed in this chapter. It may be after considering the chance of manifestation of iatrogenic bowel disorders associated with improper administration of ''[[shodhana]]'' procedure. It can also be identified as an add-on note of omitted information.

The chapter on [[Trimarmiya Siddhi]] highlights the clinicians concern over major vital organs. It is believed that ''marma'' is a topic dealt by surgeons only. Contrary to that the three ''marmas'' namely ''basti'' (urinary bladder including kidneys), ''hridayam'' (heart including cardiovascular system)  and ''shiras'' (head including brain) are equally important to a clinician as well. These vital organs also could be afflicted due to endogenous causes like wrong administration of [[Panchakarma]] procedures. Furthermore, the medicated enema is considered excellent for protection of ''marma''. In this chapter many clinical conditions like convulsive disorders and urinary disorders are highlighted. The procedure of ''uttarabasti'' is also detailed here. Certain major cephalic disorders like ''ardhavabhedaka'' (hemicranias/migraine), ''sooryavrta'' (frontal sinusitis) etc. of ''shalakya'' specialty are also included in this chapter and the details of ''[[nasya]]'' as a restorative measure is also conferred. It is highly relevant to note that the formulations of ''[[basti]]'' (''basti yoga'') have been mentioned in different contexts. ''Niruha yogas'' (decoction/purification enema formulations) are mentioned in [[Bastisutriyam Siddhi]], ''anuvasana yogas'' in [[Snehavyapat Siddhi]], quantified ''yogas'' in [[Prasrita Yogiyam Siddhi]], condition specific ''yogas'' in [[Basti Siddhi]] and ''yapana basti'' in [[Phalamatra Siddhi]]. These different, vivid and clinically vibrant formulations indicate the wide practice of ''[[basti]]'' methodically in numerous clinical conditions.

The tenth chapter of [[Siddhi Sthana]] enlists special enema recipes indicated as per ''[[dosha]]'' predominance as well as for specific clinical situations.  The eleventh chapter named [[Phalamatra Siddhi]] is unique since it has detailed various fruits useful for enema and it has been presented as proceedings of a symposium participated by eminent physicians of that time. It is astonishing that discussions on enema therapy for animals are also detailed here. It also conveys the message that Ayurvedic physicians were capable enough for managing veterinary issues and successfully administered ''[[basti]]'' like procedures in animals. In the last chapter of [[Siddhi Sthana]] the author has highlighted certain excellent enema recipes which are superior in efficacy.  It reinforces the wide clinical applications of ''[[basti]]'' and its customer friendly applications. Eight factors are explained as impediments to be avoided during [[Panchakarma]] procedures. A list of ''yapana basti'' with tremendous clinical efficacy which can be administered even to the outpatient population is detailed in the chapter. The [[Siddhi Sthana]] ends with a note by the author about himself and the method of compilation he has done to fulfill the science in terms of ''uccha shilo cchaayam''(collected the subject matter from different sources like picking up the grains). These verses glorify the humility or modesty of the redactor. The list of ''[[tantrayukti]]'' described in the last portion explains the richness of literary perfection possessed by the contributor of the text.
