महापरिमलं तैलम् ।
आदौ बिल्वदलं ततो मरुवकं पुष्पाण्यशोकस्य तु प्रत्यादित्यमजस्रमेव तिलजे तैले घटे निःक्षिपेत् ।
केतक्यां कुसुमानि चेह मुहुशः शेषे क्षिपेदादरादित्थं कार्यमिदं महापरिमलं तैलं नरैः सिद्धये ॥ ७ ॥

Very pure oil. First one should place bilva leaves, then maruvaka flowers and ashoka trees in a pot of oil made from sesame seeds. One should respectfully throw the flowers of the ketaki tree on the remaining part of the tree This is the most pure oil for the attainment of human perfection.
