The remaining chapters are devoted to rasāyana (68), vājīkaraṇa (69), pañcakarman (70), sneha (71), sveda (71), sveda (72), vamana (73), vireka (74), anūvasana and nirūha (75–76), dhūma (77), nasya (78), kavala and gaṇḍūṣa (79), prescriptions for various disorders (prakīrṇarogacikitsā), as well as weights and measures (80), and paribhāṣā (81).
