The chapter begins with foods to be avoided in combination with the flesh of domestic animals, those living in marshy regions, and aquatic animals; ³⁴⁹ the combination of fish and milk is particularly unwholesome, and among fish the one called cilicima; ³⁵⁰ the cilicima is described (9.2). ³⁵¹ Other articles of diet not going together with milk are enumerated (9.3). ³⁵² A long series of antagonistic combinations of foods, drinks and anupānas follow (9.3–6). ³⁵³ Antagonistic drugs are not dealt with, on account of the complexity of the subject and the difficulties involved (9.6).
