Free from mutual conflict and factions, beneficial to the king; / the single qualified physician should watch over them with [attentive] mind.
Four finger-breadths each are the chin, lips, nose, interocular space, ears, and forehead; / a third of a finger-breadth broad is the margin of the nostrils; / two finger-breadths long and the width of the thumb's middle is the eye; / therein, one-third of the white is the black; / one-ninth of the black, measuring the size of a lentil grain, is the pupil; / six finger-breadths in height and thirty-two in circumference is the head.
The entire body again is eighty-four finger-breadths; / that which is equal in length and breadth is declared harmonious; / therein, the aforementioned measurement is desirable; deficient or excessive is undesirable; / likewise short or tall, fair or dark, hairy or hairless, corpulent or emaciated.
In cardiac disease born of vāta, one should drink oil with whey, sauvīra, or buttermilk, / agreeably warm, with biḍa salt; it also conquers abdominal swelling, constipation, and pain.
[The cooking of oil is] mild when the residue is like paste, and smooth when it resembles wax.
In the northern direction, even there, he should offer a bali oblation to the deity.
