What the text says
Each statement reports the source, with its chapter, page and verse. Traditional descriptions are not presented as proven medical facts.
Definition1
A footnote defines anupāna as what is drunk after, that is along with, the meal, and derives the word as anugata pāna, 'the drink that follows'.
Treatment principle1
Cravings shift with use: heavy use of sour can make one person long for sweet, and overuse of some other taste can make another long for sour. So the learned physician should give, by the rule of after-drinks, whatever each person craves, is wholesome for them and suits their constitution.
Diet5
The commentary prescribes the after-drink by the kind of food: sour gruel (kāñjī; the verse says sauvīra) when eating things made of pulses, buttermilk with boiled rice and the like, warm water when eating dishes made with ghee or when drinking fats, and cold water with dishes made of flour paste; whoever takes such wholesome after-drinks daily is said to stay happy.
Water drunk before a meal is said to make the body lean, in the middle of the meal to keep it moderate, neither fat nor thin, and at the end to make it stout (bṛṃhaṇa); knowing this, one should take a suitable liquid along with the meal.
In general, warm water drunk afterwards is said to be the one medicine (after-drink) for every kind of food.
A sweet after-drink is called wholesome with astringent fruits and with tuber and leaf vegetables, and a pungent after-drink is called good with foods that are plainly sweet.
With sour foods a salty after-drink is called proper, and with pungent foods a bitter and astringent after-drink.
Cautions1
If no after-drink is taken, the food eaten is said to dry up, produce indigestion and trouble the body.
