चटकानां सहंसानां दक्षाणां शिखिनां तथा । शिशुमारस्य नकस्य भिषक शुक्राणि संहरेत् ॥ १०॥
गव्यं सर्पिर्वराहस्य कुलिङ्गस्य वसामपि । षष्टिकानां च चूर्णानि चूर्णे गोधूमकस्य च ॥ ११ ॥
एभिः पूपलिकाः कार्याः शष्कुल्यो वर्तिकास्तथा । पूपा धानाश्च विविधा भक्ष्याश्चान्ये पृथग्विधाः ॥ १२ ॥
एषां प्रयोगाद्भक्ष्याणां स्तब्धेनापूर्णरेतसा । शेफसा वाजिवद्याति यावदिच्छं स्त्रियो नरः ॥ १३ ॥

The ingredients are a mix of animal products, fats, and grains, combined to create specific food items. Let's break down the components and their traditional significance:\n\n**Ingredients:**\n\n| Ingredient Category | Items                               | Traditional Significance                                                                         |\n| :----------------- | :----------------------------------- | :------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | \n| Semen              | Sparrow, swan, cock, peacock, tortoise, crocodile | Believed to contribute to vital essence (Ojas) and enhance reproductive function.                |\n| Fats               | Cow ghee, lard, Kulinga fat          | Provide lubrication and nourishment, supporting overall health and reproductive tissues.        |\n| Grains             | Shashtika rice, wheat flour          | Form the base of the food preparations, offering sustenance and grounding energy.                |\n\n**Food Preparations:**\n\nThe ingredients are combined to make various dishes like Pupalika, Sashkuli, Vartika, Pupa, and Dhana. These are likely types of baked or cooked preparations, possibly sweets or savory snacks. The exact recipes for these preparations would need further research within classical Ayurvedic texts.\n\n**Intended Effect:**\n\nThe passage clearly states the intended outcome: enhanced sexual vigor, stamina, and satisfaction, comparable to a stallion.  The description emphasizes the strengthening and filling of the reproductive organ, suggesting a focus on both erectile function and semen production.\n\n**Important Note:**  The use of animal products, especially semen, raises ethical and practical concerns in contemporary practice.  Modern interpretations of Vajikarana often focus on herbal alternatives and lifestyle adjustments to achieve similar benefits."}
