The tutorial on the necessity of the treatment is continued at this sheet. All diseases are divided into four groups, each has 101 diseases. The first group of diseases refers to the number of slight diseases which don’t require any special treatment. The second group is caused by the balance disturbance of physiological basis in the body functioning. These diseases require a qualified and responsible treatment with using all medical and therapeutic agents and procedures. The third group is the sickness of karma nature caused by the sinful acts of previous incarnations. The fourth group of diseases is caused by the malicious influence of demons and spirits. The tractate points out nine groups of diseases with fatal outcome. For instance, if during the fever disease the fever spread come out of the critical point, “the passage”, the disease becomes incurable.

The human body or a treatment object is based on four or five primary elements. The diseases and medicaments also have the nature of these primary elements. That is why the body, diseases and medicaments are the connected united nature of four or five primary elements. In the same way the body, disease and the healer are interconnected like a support and the one resting on it, like karma and good deeds. In such a manner the knowledge obtained by the not-knowing one is connected with the medical tractates and the practical ways of healing.

The praise addressed to rishi Rikle Eshe and “The Four Books” is featured further. Rishi is compared to the sky treasury, the “Root Tantra” (The Book of Heart) is compared to the grain where all the healing science appeared from; the “Exegetical Tantra” (The Book of Body) is connected with the sun and the moon in the skies dispersing the darkness of ignorance; the “Instructional Tantra” (The Book of Virtues) is compared to the priceless gem, the “Subsequent Tantra” (The Book of actions) is compared to the unbreakable diamond. “The Four Books” incorporated the medical science as well as the divine bird Garuda, and like a sword they cut the lariat of the early death, like a hammer they break the nails of strong pains.
