/ thus spoke Ātreya and the other great seers. ### [50.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.med.samhita.astangasamgraha~en-mt.50.2) A man devoted to sense-pleasures should always seek virilification; / satisfaction, nourishment, and virtuous offspring reside therein; / \[it is that\] which causes lineage of offspring and brings immediate sexual excitation; ### [50.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.med.samhita.astangasamgraha~en-mt.50.3) by which, exceptionally strong like a horse, he approaches women without hindrance, / by which he becomes exceedingly dear to women, and by which he is nourished— / that is virilification; for it is supreme in bestowing vital essence to the body. ### [50.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.med.samhita.astangasamgraha~en-mt.50.4) For a woman endowed with female virtues is the essence of the living world; / virtuous women bring forth men who are, as it were, made of virtues. ### [50.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.med.samhita.astangasamgraha~en-mt.50.5) For these housewives, the deities of the home, cause the increase of the family line; / for a home that is bereft of them does not shine, even if it is splendid. ### [50.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.med.samhita.astangasamgraha~en-mt.50.6) Nor do they shine, looking as though overtaken by old age, / without union with a man; for that is the supreme attraction for women. ### [50.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.med.samhita.astangasamgraha~en-mt.50.7) For one who constantly resorts to virilification and desires to indulge in pleasure at will, / neither the body nor pleasure in sexual enjoyment suffers decline. ### [50.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.med.samhita.astangasamgraha~en-mt.50.8) Like a shade-less tree, foul-flowered, devoid of fruit, / standing alone and with only a single branch, so is a man without offspring. ### [50.9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.med.samhita.astangasamgraha~en-mt.50.9) For one who has not seen sons and grandsons, who stands at the end of the thread of his family line, / who is excluded from the pleasures of worldly life, what sort of life is that indeed? ### [50.10](https://indike.org/pramana/in.med.samhita.astangasamgraha~en-mt.50.10) For one without a son has no connection;

### [50.14](https://indike.org/pramana/in.med.samhita.astangasamgraha~en-mt.50.14) from lack of skill in women, perception of defects, sorcery, / severe disease of the penis, anger, and hearing about unrighteousness, / the capacity to approach women does not arise, even for one who is satiated. ### [50.15](https://indike.org/pramana/in.med.samhita.astangasamgraha~en-mt.50.15) For not all men possess strength by nature, nor are all share-holders in offspring; / some of large bodies are strong, yet weak with women. ### [50.16](https://indike.org/pramana/in.med.samhita.astangasamgraha~en-mt.50.16) And there are those of small physique who are strong with women and have many children;

therefore a physician is called twice-born. ### [50.188](https://indike.org/pramana/in.med.samhita.astangasamgraha~en-mt.50.188) A wise man who desires imperishable life should not disparage, / nor revile, nor act against the master of life. ### [50.189](https://indike.org/pramana/in.med.samhita.astangasamgraha~en-mt.50.189) The physician too, striving diligently, should protect all patients / from afflictions as if they were his own children, remembering knowledge and duty. ### [50.190](https://indike.org/pramana/in.med.samhita.astangasamgraha~en-mt.50.190) Those, however, who make treatment an article of trade for the sake of livelihood / abandon a pile of gold and worship a pile of dust. ### [50.191](https://indike.org/pramana/in.med.samhita.astangasamgraha~en-mt.50.191) The person who cuts through the dreadful snares called diseases, which drag one near to death, / and gives life—there is no giver equal to him. ### [50.192](https://indike.org/pramana/in.med.samhita.astangasamgraha~en-mt.50.192) For no gift is superior to the gift of life; / therefore, one should treat poor ascetics with one's own resources. ### [50.193](https://indike.org/pramana/in.med.samhita.astangasamgraha~en-mt.50.193) For such a noble-minded physician who strives for the welfare of living beings, / the deities of success are constantly present nearby. ### [50.194](https://indike.org/pramana/in.med.samhita.astangasamgraha~en-mt.50.194) In some cases virtue, in some a friend, in some wealth, in some fame, / and in some practical experience—thus treatment is never fruitless. ### [50.195](https://indike.org/pramana/in.med.samhita.astangasamgraha~en-mt.50.195) Therefore a physician should always attend upon the afflicted with respect;
