Liquid, dry, once-daily and twice-daily food

Liquid food suits severe thirst, a dry mouth and body and weakness; dry food suits prameha, mahodara, eye and abdominal disorders, injury and belching; one light meal a day is for weak fire and two meals for balanced fire. Verse 15 adds medicated food for those averse to medicine, reduced food for very weak fire, season-suited dosha-pacifying food and strengthening food for the healthy.
