Ashtangasamgraha 1.108

1.108

kaṣāyapānapathyānnairdaśāha iti laṅghate |

sarpirdadyāt kaphe mande vātapittottare jvare |

pakveṣu doṣeṣvamṛtaṃ tadviṣopamamanyathā ||

When ten days have thus passed in fasting, with decoction drinks and wholesome food, / one should administer ghee in a fever dominated by vāta and pitta when kapha is weak; / when the doṣas are cooked, it is nectar; otherwise, it is like poison.
