Defective ''basti putaka'' are eight in number and each of them affects the proper appliance in the procedure. When ''basti'' was used in olden times, a ''basti'' devoid of veins was selected from a dead animal (natural death/healthy and butchered) and it was processed prior by soaking in ''kashaya'', (decoctions) gently rubbed and dried (दृढस्तनुर्नष्टसिरो विगन्धः कषायरक्तः सुमृदुः सुशुद्धः).5

''Chakrapani'' has commented upon the terms ''vishama, sthoola, jalika, vatala, snigdha'' and ''klinna'' among defective ''basti''. He has also elaborated on ''visratva, daurgrahya, chyuti'' and ''adharyatva''. As discussed earlier, practicality and feasibility issues and stringent laws in procuring animal parts have led to the replacement of ''basti'' (''putaka'') with plastic bags.
