When the signs of proper purgation appear (fatigue, languor, lightness, contentment, thirst, leanness and a kindled digestive fire), the patient is given yavagu to drink that same day. It is withheld that day if his fire has become weak, if he is strong and without thirst, if much dosha remains, or if purgation has not gone properly.
