And in those who indulge improperly in sleep, waking, and sexual intercourse:
Therefore in all of those, one should first employ oleation and sudation which pacify vāta;
mild purgation accompanied by unctuous substances, and various types of enemas of that kind, as well as sour, salty, and sweet tastes, applied with proper reasoning.
For when vāta is conquered, even with little effort any other doṣa can be controlled in cases of gulma.
Therefore, in eye diseases, one should promptly treat the terrible cataract (timira).
