- 1950 March 7, Dalda advertisement, सारङ्ग [sāraṅg]‎^[1], number 6, All India Radio:
  डालडा एक विशुद्ध वनस्पति स्निग्ध-पदार्थ होने से अधिक काल तक आँच सह सकता है—इस लिये यह रसोई को पूर्ण रूप से पका देता है।
  ḍālḍā ek viśuddh vanaspati snigdh-padārth hone se adhik kāl tak ā̃c sah saktā hai—is liye yah rasoī ko pūrṇ rūp se pakā detā hai.
  Dalda, being a pure vegetable oily substance, can withstand heat for a longer period of time – hence it cooks the dish completely.
