Answer
Study question (generated from the text)
Into curable and incurable; the curable are hard to cure or easy to cure, the incurable are manageable (yāpya) or untreatable (anupakrama), four kinds in all.
Detailed answer
Verse 58, which names Samantabhadra as its source, divides diseases into curable and incurable, each in two kinds. Hard-to-cure diseases yield only to great effort, arrangements and formulations, easy ones to little effort, short time and few medicines (verse 60). Manageable diseases are held down by suitable medicine and diet but kill in time, while untreatable ones take life at once; before treating such incurable states the physician should say so clearly, or he earns disrepute (verse 59). Verse 61 sums these up as four kinds.
