I have another receipt from Veḷimaḍa. To a pound of *gaḷehi* (another grass used for mats) take two pounds *korakaha* (or *veḷikaha*), half a pound of *kiribat-mul* (root of *Knoxia platycarpa*), two pounds *pataṅgi* chips, four cents’ weight of green saffron, half cent weight of lime, and four pots of pure water. Boil for three days with a strong fire in the morning, slow fire during the day, and again strong fire in evening and slow fire during the night.
