Answer

Study question (generated from the text)

The milk of the goat, sheep, cow, buffalo, mare, she-elephant, she-donkey and she-camel.

Detailed answer

A second quoted list gives the eight as goat's, camel's, cow's, buffalo's, sheep's, horse's, elephant's and deer's milk. The meat, milk, dung and urine of meat-eating animals are left aside, and only the dung, urine and milk of grass-eating animals are taken in medicines; the closing argument accepts milk, ghee, curd and buttermilk from animals because they arise from causes of comfort such as the animals' nourishment, touch and the suckling of calves.
