=== Abstract ===
Fourth chapter of Siddhi sthana deals with various formulations of sneha basti (unctuous enema) and management of complications due to its improper administration. Sneha basti formulations, their clinical applications, reasons for snehabasti occlusion, symptoms of impediment, ailments caused by administration of basti on empty stomach, their treatments and matra basti etc. have been explained in detail. Vitiated vata, pitta, kapha, excess food and stools are responsible for impediment and empty stomach administration leads to improper movement of sneha basti. Liquid, hot, light, wholesome food and warm water use are needed to avoid these complications. Continuous excess use of both anuvasana and niruha is to be avoided as they cause utklesha- agnimandya (aggravation of kapha-pitta dosha, decrease in digestion and metabolic process) and vata prakopa (vitiation of vata) respectively. Matra basti, that is similar to lowest dose of oleation, can be used in any season with no dietary restrictions.

Introduction:
=== Introduction ===
Acharya Charaka has explained schedule, importance and symptoms of proper and improper basti administration, indications- contraindications, elaborated basti procedure and niruha basti formulations in earlier three chapters. Thus, in this sequence acharya has described fourth chapter to put forward some snehabasti formulations. Purpose of Siddhi sthana is to give excellence in therapeutics thus the complications arising due to some improper methods need to be tackled. Vitiated dosha, fecal matter, indigestion are some factors that occlude the basti and empty stomach administration leads to improper movement of fats. Moreover, due to busy work schedule, improper dietary habits and debilitating disorders most of the patients are unsuitable for anuvasana or snehabasti. In such individuals if vata vitiation is evident and needs basti therapy, then use of sneha basti (unctuous enema) in lowest dose i.e. matra basti can be employed without any complications.
