Answer
Study question (generated from the text)
The physician of holy men should himself be a holy man; failing one, a Jain layman; failing that, even one of wrong faith; and failing that, even a wicked physician of wrong faith won over with honour, gifts, trust, mantras, medicines and knowledge. They are to be treated with pure, fresh, fragrant, nourishing medicines well freed of life (prasuka), or, when these cannot be had, with sinless medicines chosen with care.
Detailed answer
Holy men must be protected in every way and their comfort alone thought of. Medicine brought with compassion after worshipping the trees is called meritorious, the root being taken from the north side and leaves, flowers and fruits from the other sides, without destroying the plant. The text records that this discourse against meat was proclaimed by Ugradityacharya in the assembly of Maharajadhiraja Nripatunga Vallabha.
