sanskrit

[Rehabilitation diet after purification] Sansarjana karma (rehabilitation diet) should be initiated from the same evening or the next day after vamana (therapeutic emesis). The patient should take bath with lukewarm water. [First, Second and Third meal] His first meal should consist of a lukewarm gruel (manda) prepared with an old, red variety of shali rice (Oryza sativa Linn.), well cooked with fourteen times water by volume. The gruel should be very thin and liquid, taking into consideration the weakened digestive power of the patient. It should be repeated for the second and third meal. [Fourth, Fifth and Sixth meal] For the fourth meal, a gruel (vilepi) prepared with four times water by volume and with red shali rice, well cooked, warm and without unctuous substance or salt, or with a small quantity of unctuous substance and salt should be given. Warm water is to be taken after the intake of gruel. The same type of diet is to be continued for the fifth and sixth meal. [Seventh, Eighth and Ninth meal] For the seventh meal again, well cooked rice (odana) prepared with red shali rice of two prasrita (approximately 160 gram) along with a very thin soup of mudga ( green gram, Phaseolus mungo Lines.) , added with a small quantity of unctuous substance and salt should be given. Warm water should be given to the patient after his consuming the porridge. The same diet is to be repeated for the eighth and the ninth meal. [Tenth, Eleventh and Twelth meal] For the tenth meal, a thin meat soup of common quail, grey partridge etc., prepared with water and salt should be given. Warm water is to be taken after this. This is again to be repeated for the eleventh and twelth meal. Thereafter, the patient should take food having different tastes and should start taking his normal diet from the seventh night.
