This verse states that- If a physician has a thorough knowledge of curable and incurable ailments and after that when he precedes the treatment in proper time, he will surely succeed. But if he tries to treat incurable disease even after knowing that it is a non treatable ailment, he will certainly suffer from the loss of arth (wealth), vidya (his/her study), yash (reputation) in the society. Means it is very important for a doctor to tell his patient that your disease is a non curable one, we cannot treat it completely but we can stop its advancement and manage its further deterioration very well with herbal medication.
