The Kṣemakutūhala contains such a large number of interesting technical terms that only a few of these can be mentioned. Seven types of pāka are distinguished: bharjana, taḷana, 346 sveda, pacana, kvathana, tāndūra and puṭapāka (1.37–41). The terms vesavā-ra, kāsamarda, karāla and uddhūlana are used in the sense of condiment (1.42–50).
