The chapter concludes the section on prohibited uses. Buttermilk of different properties affects different body types. Those with Pitta prakriti (constitution) should avoid very sour buttermilk. Those weakened by disease, the elderly in extreme conditions, and those with bleeding disorders should avoid buttermilk or use it with caution. The text ends with a comprehensive statement on the immense therapeutic value of buttermilk, comparing it to Amrita (divine nectar). The chapter's colophon: 'Iti Bhavaprakashe Mishraprakarane Takravargah Samaaptah' — thus ends the Takra Varga in the Mishra Prakarana of Bhavaprakash. Verses 25-26.
