A patient overcome by mada and burning whose body has been continually troubled by cold water drops is bathed with warm water and, once his digestive fire is seen to be kindled, fed light, fire-kindling, mostly liquid food. The commentary reads the cause as excess drinking (पानातिपात); the editor suggests प्राणातिपात, the life-threatening state of the disorders from excessive sweating.
