यस्य कस्य तरोर्मूलं येन केनापि मिश्रितम् ।
यस्मै कस्मै प्रदातव्यं यद्वा तद्वा भविष्यति ॥
yasya kasya taror mūlaṁ yena kenāpi miśritam |
yasmai kasmai pradātavyaṁ yadvā tadvā bhaviṣyati ||

[An āyurveda guru told a new disciple:] “When a root from some tree or other mixed with something or other is prescribed for something or other, then something or other will happen.”
Commentary
