Dugdha Dushana
दुग्धदूषणम्
The text describes characteristics of contaminated or spoiled milk that should be avoided: milk that has sour smell, altered color, unusual taste, or excessive froth. Milk from diseased animals, animals that have recently delivered, or animals that have consumed toxic plants should not be used. Milk that has been stored too long without refrigeration or exposed to heat and insects is considered Dushta (contaminated). Such milk causes Ama (metabolic toxins), digestive disturbances, and various diseases.
