One should not consume the meats of domestic, wetland, and aquatic animals together with honey, jaggery, sesame seeds, milk, black gram, radish, lotus rhizomes, or sprouted grains. / Especially fish with milk. / For both of these, owing to having sweet taste and post-digestive effect, are channel-obstructing, and due to having cold and hot potencies, they are mutually incompatible. / Among those [fish], especially the cilicima. / It has scales, red eyes, red stripes on all sides, a red radiance, and mostly moves on the ground; because it is exceedingly channel-obstructing, it produces diseases even more, as well as undigested poison. / In summary, they call this a fatal sign. / Namely: / painful conditions caused by vāta, pitta, kapha, and their combination; / urinary calculi caused by vāta, pitta, śleṣman, and semen; / vāta-bladder, stony enlargement, coiled obstruction, suppression of urine, abdominal distension, pouching, abdominal knot, obstruction of semen and feces, hot vāta, decrease of urine, and exhaustion. / Or, according to the sequence of the seats of kapha, when the doṣas are equal in alcoholism; / for alcoholism generally ends in pitta and vāta. / Among those, insanity is indeed the intoxication of the mind caused by bodily and mental doṣas running astray.
