Questions and answers
Why is the fluid in jalodara drained only a little at a time, and how long does the draining take?
Because draining it all at once may bring on severe thirst, intense fainting, fever and burning; the fluid is let out from the left side over fifteen days, with the waist cloth tightened as it drains.
