Answer

Study question (generated from the text)

One who out of ignorance cuts open an unripe swelling thinking it fully ripe, or neglects a fully ripe one thinking it unripe; both are called ignorant and great sinners, and a wise patient should leave them.

Detailed answer

Only the physician who knows the unripe, burning and ripe stages well is called the best of physicians. The text also warns that a deep-seated kapha swelling can mislead the physician, because it may be ripe without showing all the signs of ripeness.
