And after heating all [the ingredients] together over the steam of a pot of hot water, churning them with a churning stick, and pouring them into the bladder, one should administer the non-unctuous enema like an unctuous enema:

not overly hot or cold, not overly mild or sharp, not overly unctuous or dry, not overly thin or dense, not deficient or excessive in quantity, not unsalted or overly salted, and not overly sour.

There, from the mere heat of the steam, burning does not occur in the medicine.

And through churning with the stick, the decoction, unctuous substance, and other ingredients, when properly combined, initiate their action properly.

Otherwise, the dominant one among the decoction and other ingredients would provoke its corresponding doṣa.

Moreover, the particular complications and treatments for the overly hot and other [faulty enemas] will be taught later in the [section on] successful treatments.

Oil cooked with eggplants and mixed with honey and collyrium is an ointment.

Or the juice of small eggplant mixed with honey [is used].

Or a thick [solution of] palāśa alkali [is applied] for water-born colic.
