Answer
Study question (generated from the text)
Ultimate (pāramārthika) health, the bliss of liberation, which is primary, and practical (vyavahāra) health, which is secondary; practical health means balanced digestive fire and tissues, undisturbed doshas, proper elimination of wastes and a clear self, senses and mind.
Detailed answer
Verse 2 says the Jinas declared health to be of two kinds, the first and chief being ultimate health and the other arising from worldly practice. Verse 3 describes ultimate health as the wondrous, final, unequalled bliss beyond the senses born of the destruction of all karmas. Verse 4 lists the marks of practical health: balanced fire and tissues, absence of dosha disturbance, proper excretion and constant clarity of self, senses and mind; a footnote quotes Vāgbhaṭa's similar definition. Verse 7 adds simply that one whose body is free of disease is called healthy.
