Answer

Study question (generated from the text)

Blood smeared on a cloth that keeps its colour after washing with hot water, and that a dog eats when it is mixed with sattu, is life-blood; otherwise it is raktapitta.

Detailed answer

The test is given in verse 75 and its commentary. Jivadana, the discharge of life-giving blood after purification, is treated with cooling measures and cold drugs that stop the blood (verse 76).
