**Analysis:** The person with a weakened disease, who is considered "disease-free" in the lake, is not established or proven. Similarly, the Bhavagī, due to the decay of Bhavagana, is considered "free" in the scriptures.

Just as the disease-free person was not previously diseased, but was indeed diseased,
