Answer

Study question (generated from the text)

Milk taken with meat, fish, jaggery, black gram or modaka sweets is said to bring on kushtha, and taken with vegetables, jambu fruit, sura or asava to kill the ignorant quickly like a snake; meat and milk together are called unworldly, unpleasant and excluded by the texts.

Detailed answer

A quoted verse also lists plain meat, old women, the rising sun, freshly set curd, intercourse at dawn and sleep at dawn as six things that take life at once. The milks of eight animals (goat, camel, cow, sheep, buffalo, horse, elephant and deer) and the urines of eight are named as those used in medicine, never those of flesh-eaters.
