6.7

One should always drink [water] kept in a golden or earthen vessel, which is uncorrupted; / and in its absence, [terrestrial water] located on the ground that resembles celestial water.

This same division applies also to pitta, śleṣman, and pure blood.

For when positioned thus, the doṣas sustain the body; / but by improper distribution they afflict it.

This alone is the supreme guide on the many-pathed road to ruin.

In abdominal distension, udāvarta, and tamaka [asthma], with mātuluṅga and amlavetasa,

an enema containing liquor, feces, and urine, together with paste, brings him back [to health].
