Churned from Milk vs Curd Butter

क्षीरसार-दधिसारम्

The text distinguishes between butter obtained from churning milk (Kshira-Sara/cream) and butter obtained from churning curd (Dadhi-Sara). Cream butter (Sarpi/Navaneeta from milk) is lighter, sweeter, and more cooling. Curd butter (Dadhi-Navaneeta) has slightly sour undertones and different therapeutic properties. Fresh, unsalted butter obtained by morning churning is considered best. Both types are beneficial but are used for different therapeutic purposes. Butter from cow's milk is considered superior to that from buffalo milk.
