Answer

Study question (generated from the text)

By means (upāyapāka), through medicines that remove the unripe state of the disease, and by time (kālapāka), on their own without medicine.

Detailed answer

Verse 16 compares the doshas to fruit, which ripens on the tree by itself or is ripened by skilled people. Verse 17 defines ripening by means as ripening the doshas with medicines that remove āma, and ripening by time as their ripening within their own period without medicine, which is seen in animals, birds and the destitute. The same two ways of ripening are described for karma in verses 14-15.
