23.19

'Enclosed' is that which is at the beginning and end of a meal.

That, combined with light and little food, consists of digestive electuaries, powders, and the like in hiccup, tremor, and convulsion, and when the doṣa resides in the upper and lower [parts].

Thus, through the departure of śleṣman and the release of respiration, his consciousness is not repeatedly obstructed.

One should give him the fats of rooster, crab, crocodile, and boar to drink,

and gruel prepared with barley, jujube, horse gram, radish, curd, ghee, and oil;

and once the paroxysm has passed, he should resort to oil-purgatives, non-unctuous enemas, and unctuous enemas in all forms.
