The pulse of a person satisfied with meal, etc. is steady, i.e. moves slowly and slowly. The pulse becomes large (or thick) if eaten stuff remains undigested; the pulse of a hungry person becomes unsteady (or wavering). (V. 22)
प्रसङ्गाद् भक्ष्यज्ञानमाह
In this connection the knowledge of the effect of eaten food-stuff on the pulse is stated :
पुष्टिस्तैलगुड़ाहारे मांसे च लगुड़ाकृतिः । 0977 a feafuar dori nyt enfa: 11 V.23 11
The pulse becomes thick (or large) in the case of taking nourishing oily stuff, molasses, sweet things, and meat; it beats hard and jumping upwards, having the form of a stick in the case of taking meat. Its movement becomes slow in taking milk, and like that of a frog in taking sweet thing (melted or unmelted). (V. 23)
रम्भागुड़वटाहारे रुक्षशुष्कादिभोजने । arafaifa ETO FIT agfa fall 11 V.24 11
The pulse sometimes flows like a snake or sometimes like a frog as in the case of diseases caused by vitiation of bodily humours-vata (air) and pitta (bile), if banana, molasses and vada (a kind of cake) and dry stuff like chipitaka (flattened rice), etc. are taken. (V. 24)
