Answer

Study question (generated from the text)

Because the muni who studies it secures health, the cause of the bliss of liberation, while one who does not, afflicted by diseases born of his own doshas, is bound by karma through the evil states of his mind.

Detailed answer

Under the heading आयुर्वेदाधययनफल the translation concludes that the study of Ayurveda is necessary even for munis, and adds that whoever studies, salutes and praises this great science spoken by Ugradityacharya gains a brilliance like the sun. Just before, it records that the discourse against meat was proclaimed in the assembly of King Nripatunga Vallabha, where this Jain physician proved before meat-favouring scholars of Ayurveda that meat is fruitless.
