Shloka Meaning:
"Then, in the evening or the next day, give the person barley gruel, which has been soaked in its own moisture, mixed with gruel of aged red rice grains, sprinkled with pleasant water, and comfortably warm. This should be done after assessing the digestive power. Similarly, for the second and third mealtimes, feed him thick gruel of well-cooked rice grains, accompanied with warm water, without oil and salt or with little oil and salt. For the fourth, fifth, and sixth mealtimes, feed him well-cooked rice (two prasritas), followed by warm water, with thin green gram soup containing little oil and salt. For the seventh, eighth, and ninth mealtimes, feed him similarly prepared rice, well-cooked, accompanied with warm water. For the tenth mealtime, feed him meat soup made from small birds like sparrow or quail, with water and salt, not too liquid, followed by warm water. For the eleventh and twelfth mealtimes, continue in the same manner. Thereafter, consuming food with gradually increasing qualities, the person should reach a normal diet within seven nights."
