If the trumpet points toward

its trumpet will detach and
hang by a thread, allowing aseed pod to mature in its
place.

Bhallataka
Preparation
When cut, Bhallataka will
ooze a heavy black (non
water soluble) oil.
It is this oil that carries its
most potent properties.
Nuts should be examined for a good content of this black
oil as older specimens may
tend to dry out over time.
Luckily Bhallataka has
excellent longevity
properties, after harvesting
these nuts can be stored for
over two years withoutnoticeable loss of potency.

Gorvara & Puta
Preparation
Gorvara cakes ignite easily
and burn with great heat.
If cakes seem slow to ignite,
they may still retain some
moisture (a wet core).
Breaking a few cakes openwill quickly reveal if the
cakes have dried sufficiently.
