The most suitable ground to plant in is soft soil that has been sown with the Sesamum Indicum, and dug up or trodden over with the sesame in flower. Grafts should be smeared with cowdung. For transplanting, the plants should be smeared with ghee (clarified butter), sesame oil, the honey of the Kshudra variety of the bee, the oil of the Usira (*Andropogon Laniger* or *Andropogon Citrarum*), the Vidanga (*Embelia Ribes*), milk and cowdung. Trees should be planted at intervals of 20 or 16 cubits.
