Treatment principle1
Because this science, the supreme scripture from the lotus mouth of the Jina, is full of compassion and kind to all beings, the translation says physicians should as far as possible try to treat animals and humans without leeches, instead of the leech treatment that some physicians use, by the use of what it calls कदंब त्रिावर्ण दशांगुलशारिका.
