Tilakiṭṭa (तिलकल्क) refers to “the waste (kiṭṭa) of Tila-seeds (Sesamum indicum)”. It is obtained as after expelling the oil from the Tila-seeds, after which the left overs are called kiṭṭa (‘waste’).

Tilakiṭṭa is pungent, sweet and cures kapha and vāta disorders and prameha (the obstinate urinary disorders).

According to the Rājanighaṇṭu (verse 16.111), Tilakiṭṭa has 3 synonyms: Piṇyāka, Khala (or Khalī) and Tilakalkaja.
