The composition of the medicines used by practitioners of the Ayurvedic system of cure, and the method of their preparation, have been explained.

Thus, if sixty four seers be directed to be taken of water, or ghee, or oil, or of the expressed juice of medicinal plant, double the quantity, i.e., one hundred and twentyeight seers are actually taken. Most of the medicines mentioned in this volume are not new They are in use since the days of Charaka and Sucruta. Later authorities have added some.
