> The diseases that arise when the doṣas reside in chyle and the other tissues  
> are figuratively said to be born from them, as in the case of a burn from ghee.  
> Likewise also the man.  
> And she should not lie face downward.  
> For in that case a male child with female behaviour or a female child with male behaviour is born.  
> Nor should he unite with her lying face down or on her side.  
> In a woman lying face down, vāta is strong and oppresses the vagina.  
> In one lying on her right side, kapha, oppressed and displaced, obstructs the uterus.  
> In one lying on her left side, likewise, pitta scorches the blood and semen.  
> Therefore, lying on her back, she should receive the seed.  
> For thus the doṣas remain only in their proper places.  
> In the Uttarā asterisms, relief occurs after three weeks, and in Revatī.  
> One should treat all fevers, except that arising from alcohol,  
> wearing on their limbs red arsenic, orpiment, gorocanā, agallochum, and sandalwood.
