Conclusion of the kalpas

Taking the kalpa combinations of many kinds by the rule of the science is said to give special strength, splendour, life, virility, invincibility and freedom from disease. These formulas, whose results are evident and famous and which were set out by teachers who mastered the doctrine, should be used with care and without doubt; as a king protects his city from enemies with his army, a person should protect the body, the abode of dharma and happiness, from the enemy of disease with medicines, otherwise it is ruined by the doshas. Taken properly, the medicines are said to bring three of the aims of life here and dharma, artha, kama and moksha hereafter.
