Hindi rendering of the chapter on the wholesome and the unwholesome

हिताहिताध्याय का भावानुवाद

Extracted from the text1 reference

A Hindi free translation of the Sanskrit hitahita discourse. It argues from syadvada that no substance is wholesome or unwholesome in every respect and that substance, taste, potency and vipaka are in some respects one and in some respects distinct, describes the physician's dharma and calls medicine a second dharmashastra, and argues at length that honey, liquor and meat are neither food, nor medicine, nor rasayana and were inserted later into other medical texts by meat-loving authors. It closes with how holy men are to be treated and by whom, the two kinds of substance, the fruit of knowing the Kalyanakaraka, and the record that the discourse was proclaimed in the assembly of King Nripatunga Vallabha.
