Extraction notes
- The passage ends वासमेकं, which may be a garbled मासमेकं (for one month); no duration is recorded because the reading is uncertain. स्वपAवैभाषण is garbled; only भाषण (talking) is clear.
- The Hindi list leaves out sudation, emesis, grief and wind, which the Sanskrit on PDF 684 names, and adds that staying in one place is also necessary.
