ūԻ (भूमिबन्ध):—The ṅgṇa-ūٰ (72.24-26) narrates the process of preparation of the ground for wall painting in the chapter called ūԻ. The first thing to be done in the process is levelling the wall. After that, the juice of any one of the following trees, Snuhi (Euphorbia antiquorum), Vāstuka (Chenopodium album), Kuṣmāṇḍa (Beninkasa cerifera), Kuddālī (Bauhinia variegata), Apāmārga (Achyranthes aspera) or sugar-cane should be mixed with the juice of any one of the trees such as Siṃsapā (Dalbergia sissoo), Nimba (Azadirachta indica), Triphala (myrobalan) and Kuṭaja (Wrightia antidysenterica) and kept for a week. The mixture along with oceanic salt should be sprinkled on the already levelled wall.

In accordance with the season, the juice of the Arjuna tree (Terminalia arjuna), the seeds of the bean plant, the cotton-silk tree or the wood-apple should be added to the plaster. Before the application of the plaster of the thickness of the elephant skin, the wall is to be washed with water. After the application of the plaster, the wall should be coated three times with a paste prepared of lime stone chips. This whiting is to be prepared from the pure, clear, soft and whitish limestone chips thoroughly ground and levigated and added with proportionate boiled rice and gum.

Actual ūԻ i.e., seasoning of the wall for painting is to be commenced under a sacred constellation on an auspicious day with the offering of fragrant flowers of different colours, ū貹, etc. for the tutelary deity. Nine parts of the cotton fibre and the clay are then mixed with an equal quantity of water.
