Ashtangasamgraha 6.40

6.40

Except in autumn and summer, even a healthy person should drink only a little. / Water drunk before a meal produces loss of digestive fire and emaciation of the body. // When swooning with pitta, it is sharp; when tormented by this kapha, it is slow. // Having cooked oil with prasannā-wine and sour gruel, one should administer an unctuous enema.
