अन्यशास्त्रोपपन्नानां चार्थानामिहोपनीतानामर्थवशात्तेषां तद्विद्येभ्य एव व्याख्यानमनुश्रोतव्यं, कस्मात्? न ह्येकस्मिन् शास्त्रे शक्यः सर्वशास्त्राणामवरोधः कर्तुम् ॥६॥
The explanations of these meanings should be heard from those who are well-versed in the specific texts related to them. Why? Because it is not possible for one single scripture to encompass and exclude all other scriptures.

One who studies a single scripture does not acquire comprehensive knowledge of all scriptures. Therefore, a physician, being well-versed in many scriptures, should understand and practice accordingly.
