sanskrit

The characteristics of the eight factors mentioned in the above verses are inter-dependent (for example, a substance of optimum quantity taken in the right season and in the right place). Any regimen prescribed should be done after gaining a thorough understanding of the food articles from these eight aspects for them to be wholesome. Food or any other dravya that is liked but is unwholesome and likely to result in unpleasant consequences should not be used by ignorance or carelessness.
