यस्तु रोगमविज्ञाय कर्माण्यारभते भिषक्| अप्यौषधविधानज्ञस्तस्य सिद्धिर्यदृच्छया ||२१||

sanskrit

A physician who initiates treatment without proper diagnosis of the disease can accomplish the desired object only by chance (that is to say he cannot be sure of his success). The fact that he is well-acquainted with the knowledge of application of medicine does not necessarily guarantee his success.
