रूक्षांस्तिक्तरसोपेतान् हृद्यान् रुचिकरान् पटून् । रक्ताद्याः शालयो जीर्णाः षष्टिकाश्च ज्वरे हिताः ॥ ७२ ॥

dry (not mixed with fatty materials), bitter in taste, pleasing (agreeable) to the mind, tasty, and made saline (by addition if Saindhava salt), should be given at the beginning itself. In fever, old rice such as Raktasali (red rice – Oryza sativa) etc., and Sastika rice are suitable as food.
