Changes

In the exact quantity of these ingredients are told as follows - ''saindhava''-1 ''tola'', ''madhu''-2 ''prasrita'', ''sneha''-3 ''prasrita'', ''kalka''-1 ''prasrita'', kashaya-4 ''prasrita'' and ''avapa''-2 ''prasrita''. Thus, the total quantity becomes 12 ''prasrita'' ½ which is rounded to 12 prasruta. This kalpanā is meant for vāta  roga.16

In case of a healthy person (marked by an equilibrium of vāta, pitta and kapha), the solution to be administered should be composed of four parts of the decoction of drugs and one part (a fifth part of the basti) of the sneha (any oleaginous substance). In any case marked by a preponderance of the deranged vāta, the sneha should measure a quarter part of the whole, one-sixth in a case of a preponderance of the deranged pitta and an eighth part in a case of the deranged kapha. In a case of aggravation of all the (three) dosha, the kalka should measure an eighth part (of the entire quantity of basti dravya), and the following drugs, viz.y salt, honey, cow's urine, phala (madana), milk, avāpa (additives) such as kānjika, etc. and soup of meat. In formulating niruha basti the dosage should be determined by a due consideration of the requirements in each case. When the kalka, the sneha, and the decoction would be well mixed together, the solution for administration should be considered to have been well prepared. The application of such a solution would be supposed to produce the desired results. Ďalhaņa says that of the whole mixture measuring 12 prasruta (twenty-four Palas), there should be 4 prasruta of the decoction, and so on.19
