The unctuous enema (anuvāsana) is unctuous substance prepared with appropriate drugs for the purpose of oleation; and it is stated to be of four kinds in the chapter on oleation. / Its variety is the dose-enema (mātrābasti); / that is equal to the small dose of drinkable unctuous substance. / And juice of nirguṇḍī leaves with ghee-scum and rock salt is a nasal medication (nasya); / or the roots and fruits of śirīṣa; / an ointment of sārivā, water lily, kuṣṭha, vacā, madhuka, and pippalī with oil and sour liquid; / if it does not subside, one should counteract it considering the secondary doṣa involved.
