अभ्युद्धार्यं बदराम्ले लवणोदके वा सादयन्ति । इति पेटकः ॥ कZ_०२.१४.३३ ॥
abhyuddhāryaṃ badarāmle lavaṇodake vā sādayanti | iti peṭakaḥ
‘अभ्युद्धार्य’ (अलग होकर बैठ जाने वाला/मिलावट का अंश) को बदराम्ल (बेर के खट्टे घोल) या लवण-जल में बैठा देते हैं—इसे ‘पेटक’ कहते हैं।
To standardize detection/removal of adulterants so the state can prevent fraud, protect revenue, and enforce uniform quality in taxed/regulated commodities.
They are low-cost, repeatable media that enable predictable separation/settling—useful for routine inspections in state workshops and markets.
