==Salient features==

Let us examine certain salient features of [[Siddhi Sthana]]. It is the first ever compiled discussion on one to one interaction between the learner and his preceptor over the standard operating procedures (SOP) of [[Panchakarma]] in Ayurveda. Among five therapeutic procedures, Siddhi Sthanahas has highlighted ''basti''. Major share of the text has been devoted in explaining various aspects of ''basti'', its importance, types, clinical relevance and practical aspects. The procedural details of ''vamana'' and ''virechana'' are conferred less. This may probably be because it has to be read in continuation with [[Kalpa Sthana]] where details of ''vamana'' as well as ''virechana'' formulations and their modus operandi have been given. Moreover, procedure of ''vamana'' and ''virechana'' had been previously explained in [[Sutra Sthana]] in an exclusive chapter. So the omitted details of ''basti'', are explained with more significance. ''Basti'' has been equated to half of the whole treatment or as the whole treatment itself. The minute details of observations seen in day to day clinical practice like, reasons for ''basti'' medicine for not reaching its destination, reasons for long retention without expulsion or early expulsion etc. are mentioned along with optimal responses of basti procedures. [[Siddhi Sthana]] can be the first text to have explained minute details of ''basti'' procedure from material of nozzle, its shape and size and the logical reasons for lying in the left lateral position while administering.
