sanskrit

Hence, the entire set of twenty-five chapters and the detailed explanations of verses must be systematically studied and heard, why? Because the subtleties of the substances, their tastes, properties, potencies, transformations, and defects, as well as the details of their effects on different parts of the body, their combinations, and the removal of lost foreign bodies and wounds, are numerous and intricate. Even a person with a clear and profound intellect may become confused, so for someone with a limited intellect, it is essential to follow and study these details meticulously.
