Answer

Study question (generated from the text)

The first four (vata, pitta, kapha and combined) by medicines and the other four by surgery, with both needed after a long time; udaras that have ended as jalodara, and patients who refill quickly after purgation with anorexia, broken-feeling flanks and swelling, are to be left as incurable.

Detailed answer

Verse 139 says that at the final stage all udaras become jalodara and incurable (in old age, the commentary says) and adds baddhodara and sravi udara to those the physician should avoid; verse 140 (printed 141) calls the rest difficult to cure with daily skilled care; verse 141 divides the eight between medicine and surgery; verse 142 gives the signs of incurability.
