29.22

ājanmamaraṇaṃ śastaḥ pratimarśastu bastivat |

marśavacca guṇān kuryāt sa hi nityopasevanāt ||

tathāyataścaturasro vṛttastripuṭakaśca vraṇaḥ |

śoṣāstu vikṛtākṛtayo durupacārāḥ |

te ca prāyaśo bhavantyāgantavaḥ |

svayaṃ vidīrṇāśca doṣajā na tu vaidyakṛtāḥ ||

Pratimarśa, however, like the enema, is commendable from birth to death; / and because of daily use, it produces the same benefits as regular marśa.

Similarly, an elongated, four-cornered, round, or three-cornered wound;

but consumptions are deformed in shape and difficult to treat;

and they are mostly exogenous;

and those caused by doṣas rupture spontaneously, but are not made by a physician.
