Answer
Study question (generated from the text)
Dry land (jāṅgala), with thin, rough-bodied people, mostly has vāta disorders and calls for vāta-pacifying treatment; marshy land (ānūpa), with stout, kapha-predominant people, has vāta disorders with much kapha and calls for treating kapha and vāta; ordinary land (sādhāraṇa) has balanced conditions, no dosha disturbance and is the best.
Detailed answer
Verse 19 names the three lands and calls the ordinary one chief. Verses 20-24 describe dry land by its rough vegetation, hard hills, scarce deep wells and thin people with prominent veins, who suffer mostly from vāta. Verses 25-34 describe marshy land by its cold water, mud, lush trees, lakes and rich milk-and-jaggery diet, whose stout people suffer vāta disorders with much kapha. Verses 35-38 describe ordinary land as free of extremes, where seasonal food and balanced fire keep the doshas undisturbed so that disease does not arise.
