Shloka : 31

यदौषधं च सुरया सम्पृक्तं पललेन वा ।

अज्ञातवृत्तवैद्येन दत्तं चाद्यं न तत् क्वचित् ॥ 31 ॥

અને જે ઔષધ દારૂ તથા માંસ તેણે યુક્ત હોય તે ઔષધ ક્યારેય ન ખાવું; અને વળી જે વૈદ્યના આચરણને જાણતા ન હોઈએ તે વૈદ્યે આપ્યું જે ઔષધ તે પણ ક્યારેય ન ખાવું. ॥ 31 ॥

And the medicine which consists of wine or meat should never be consumed; also the medicine given by a physician (Vaidya) whose conduct is not known to us, should never be consumed. || 31 ||

Commentary

The devotees of Shriji Maharaj should not consume the medicine in which meat or wine are mixed. One can be purified only through proper penance, evenif unknowingly or during emergency of life and death one has consumed alcohol or medicine mixed with meat.

Shriji Maharaj has mentioned in 'Satsangijeevan' that one should never give up one’s religion, even to save one’s own life. That means one should never consume the medicine which consists of alcohol or meat.

Moreover, a doctor, whose conduct is not known, is called an unre­cognized practitioner. Medicine given by such unknown physician (Vaidya) should never be consumed, because there is a possibility of contamination of noneatable stuff or impure material. There­fore, the medicine given by a known physician only should be consumed.
