Answer

Study question (generated from the text)

Because purgation is especially beneficial for one already given emesis; if purgation is given without emesis, kapha goes down, spreads through the abdomen and covers the digestive fire, and many diseases soon follow.

Detailed answer

Verse 42 states this order, and verse 43 describes the small, light, warm, unctuous meal and the sour hot-water drink given the day before purgation.
