The Compendium of Bheḷa 1.9.38

1.9.38

Just as clay, rod, wheel, cord, and the like, without a potter, / do not produce beneficial effects, so the three limbs [produce none] without the physician; / therefore, one should know that the physician is the principal cause in therapeutics. Thus said the venerable Ātreya. Thus the ninth chapter in Bheḷa. / Chapter ten. Now we shall explain the chapter on disorders of āma; thus spoke the venerable Ātreya.
