Now at that time the Bhikkhus who were sick had need of various kinds of salt 5 as medicine. They told this thing to the Blessed One.\n'I allow you, O Bhikkhus, the use of salts as\nmedicine--sea-salt 1, black salt 2, rock salt 3, kitchen salt 4, red salt 5, and whatsoever other salts are used in medicine (&c., as in chap. 4, down to:) is guilty of a dukkata offence.'\n47:5 On these salts compare Abhidh\u00e2nappad\u00eepik\u00e2, verse 461; Susruta, vol. i, pp. 226, 227, of the edition by Madhus\u00fbdana Gupta; Wise, 'Hindu Medicine,' p. 117.\n48:1 S\u00e2muddik\u00e2 \u2019ti samudda-t\u00eere v\u00e2luk\u00e2 viya titthati (B.).\n48:2 K\u00e2la-lonan ti pakati-lonam (B.).\n48:3 Sindhavan ti seta-vannam: pabbate utthahati (B.).
