Answer
Study question (generated from the text)
Disorders from vata, pitta or kapha singly are curable and are overcome with oleation, sudation and similar procedures; the corpse-smelling, pus-like, foul and knotted kinds are difficult to cure; the faeces-smelling kind is called incurable.
Detailed answer
Seed vitiated by blood smells like a corpse, by kapha and vata becomes knotted, by pitta and blood becomes foul and pus-like, by all three doshas smells of faeces, and excessive intercourse depletes it. Medicated ghees are given for the corpse-smelling, knotted and pus-like kinds, and verse 13 still gives a ghee of trikatu, triphala, agnimantha, lotus and musta for the faeces-smelling kind.
