“ ‘That which is primarily phlegm arises immediately after eating.  
That which is primarily bile arises during digestion.  
That which is primarily air arises immediately after digestion.  
That which is the movement of all three humors is like that.  
  
“ ‘That which has the nature of air is healed by nutrition.  
Laxative medicines are what dispel bile illness.  
Aggregate illnesses will accord with all three.  
For the class of phlegm, give emetic medicines.  
  
“ ‘Know the groups that are primarily  
Air, bile, aggregation, or phlegm.  
Rely upon the medicines, food, and drink  
For whichever time, humor, and body.’  
  
“Jalavāhana, the head merchant’s son, through just this inquiry into skill in the humors became learned in all the eight branches of the Āyurveda.  
  
“Noble goddess, at that time, in that time, Jalavāhana, the head merchant’s son went throughout all the villages, towns, market towns, countryside, realm, and the royal capital in the kingdom of King Sureśvaraprabha, and he said, ‘I will be a doctor for you many hundreds of thousands of beings who are afflicted by various illnesses and tormented by various illnesses. I promise to be your doctor and I will free you from your various illnesses and bring you relief.’  
  
“Noble goddess, when all those many hundreds of thousands of beings heard those words spoken by Jalavāhana, the head merchant’s son, they immediately felt great joy. They found relief and had inconceivable joy, happiness, and delight.  
  
“At that time, in that time, those many hundreds of thousands of beings who were afflicted by various illnesses and tormented by various illnesses were completely freed from their illness and became healthy. When they became healthy, they had the same power, strength and vigor as before.  
  
“At that time, in that time, all those who were afflicted with severe illnesses among the many hundreds of thousands of beings that were afflicted by various illnesses and tormented by various illnesses
