The patient's daily routine

Each morning the patient should plan which medicine and food to take and when, keep faith and alertness and follow the physician fully in diet and conduct; keep vows, recite mantras such as the mṛtyuñjaya, restrain the senses and vow to worship the Jina image; hear religious stories, give alms, feed monks, wish all well, give up sinful acts and free caged creatures. The text says sin and disease keep away from such a person, since diseases arise from sin and dharma is its opposite.
