शर्करायास्तुका स्यादेका गव्यस्य सर्पिषः । प्रस्थो विदार्याश्वर्णस्य पिप्पल्याः प्रस्थ एव च ॥ २५ ॥
अर्धाढकं तुगाक्षीर्याः क्षौद्रस्याभिनवस्य च । तत्सर्वं मूच्छितं तिष्ठेन्मार्तिके घृतभाजने ॥ २६ ॥
मात्राग्निसमां तस्य प्रातः प्रातः प्रयोजयेत् । एष वृष्यः परं योगो बल्यो बृंहण एव च ॥ २७ ॥

This type of vessel is believed to preserve the potency and qualities of the ingredients.\n* **Dosage:**  The dosage is determined by individual digestive capacity (matragnisamam).  This personalized approach is crucial in Ayurveda, recognizing that each individual's metabolism and digestive strength are unique.\n* **Timing:** The formulation is taken every morning on an empty stomach.\n\n**Benefits:**\n\n* **Vrishya (Aphrodisiac):**  The combination of ingredients is known to enhance sexual function and reproductive health.\n* **Balya (Strengthening):**  It improves overall physical strength and stamina.\n* **Brihmana (Bulk-Promoting):**  It supports healthy weight gain and muscle development.\n\n**Key Ayurvedic Concepts:**\n\n* **Agni (Digestive Fire):**  The emphasis on individual digestive capacity highlights the importance of Agni in Ayurveda.  A strong Agni is essential for proper assimilation of nutrients and overall health.\n* **Gunas (Qualities):**  The ingredients are chosen for their specific Gunas, which work synergistically to produce the desired effects.  For example, Vidari is known for its sweet and nourishing qualities, while Pippali is known for its heating and stimulating properties.\n* **Earth Element:** The use of an earthen vessel is significant as it represents the earth element, which is associated with stability and nourishment."}
