Answer
Study question (generated from the text)
The wound is cleansed with cleansing drugs, filled with a healing paste, covered with leaves and wrapped in fine cloth; the next day the bandage is opened, the pus pressed out, the wound washed with decoction water, dressed and bandaged again.
Detailed answer
Verses 47-48 list the cleansing drugs (karanja, turmeric, neem, kutki and others) and the healing drugs (sesame, lodhra, liquorice, arjuna bark, manjishtha and others). Verses 51-53 describe the bandage and say that bandaging cleanses the wound, heals it and makes it soft and painless, so it is the right course in all wounds. A clean wound is stable, without pus, painless, pigeon-coloured and fleshy; a healed one is level with the skin and of the same colour (verse 55).
