There, an unction should be made with black earth well-impregnated with powders of śyāmā, pālindī, and taṇḍulīyaka, ghee, and bear's bile. Or sprinkling should be done with cow dung, mālatī, or the juice of any \[plant such as\] mūṣikakarṇī, or chimney soot, or bark of śleṣmātaka, pāṭalā, śirīṣa, madhuka, and the two haridrās, stirred into goat's milk.
