Abandoned at birth, Jīvaka studies medicine at Takkasilā and becomes a renowned physician. He earns wealth curing a merchant’s wife’s headache and performs successful brain surgery on a merchant. After secretly administering repulsive ghee to cure King Pajjota’s jaundice, Jīvaka flees his wrath. Later, he treats the Buddha’s illness with a gentle, lily-infused purgative and hot baths.
