The use of specific āvāpa can be explained with examples viz. uṣakādi gana prativāpa is added in lekhana basti (Su. Ci. 38/82) to achieve more lekhana effect, māmsarasa is added in mustādi yāpana basti (Ca. Si. 12/16-1) to make it more suitable for vāta and to enhance its ability to nourish māmsa dhātū. Uṣṇa Jala is added in basti because it causes ṣrotośodhana and vātānulomana which are essential actions in basti karma apart from its suitability to all dōsha and dhātū (13-17).
