Answer
Study question (generated from the text)
No formula in the work uses wine, meat or honey, because they arise from violence; and its last section, which Ugrāditya is said to have delivered at the court of Nṛpatuṅga Vallabha, sets out to prove that meat is of no use in medicine.
Detailed answer
The introduction says giving them up upholds non-violence and that they are not indispensable in treatment. The editor reads Somanātha's Kannada verse as showing that Pūjyapāda's Kalyāṇakāraka also used no wine, meat or honey, and cites K. Śeṣaśāstrī, Kavirāj Gaṇanāth Sen and Kavirāj Yogīndranāth Sen as physicians who rejected wine and meat in medicine. He argues that plant medicines can remove even terrible diseases, citing Samantabhadra's bhasmaka disease.
