v1.c26.s2.85
A series of verses immediately preceding those on medical ethics are about the feats of the Aśvins, to whom physicians are compared (A.s.U.50.177–184). Hilgenberg and Kirfel 243 and C. Vogel 244 pointed them out as a typically Hinduist feature, but they are very close to the verses on the same subject from the Carakasaṃhitā, which also precede those on ethics (Ca.Ci.14.40cd–50).
