Verse 13-19
''Harita'' has described ''krishna paksha'' of lunar month is suitable for the ''basti prayoga'' because, all the diseases treated during this period get cured forever (radical cure) and the Gods appear during the ''shukla paksha'' where as demons as well as diseases appear during the ''krishna paksha''. Therefore, according to Harita, diseases should be treated during ''krishna paksha''.)6
The patient, before the basti pranidāna (administration), is required to lie down on his left side on a bed which has uniform level or which is low in the head side. These two alternatives are described for the comfort of the patient. This can be explained in a different way also. If the patient has a bulky buttock, then the head side of the cot should be uniform. If he has thin buttock, then the head side of bed should be lowered to facilitate the uniform distribution of basti dravya in the body.
The basti dravya should be administered in one squeeze or compress. If there is interruption, and the puţaka is compressed again to push the remaining basti dravya into rectum, then there is possibility of entry of air into the pakvashaya which is not desirable.7
