'tsho byed gzhon nu

Jīvaka is a title meaning "physician." Kumārabhṛta means "raised by the prince," in this case Prince Abhaya, who was said to have fostered the future physician. He was personal physician to King Bimbisāra and the Buddha. He asked that invalids would not be accepted into the order, for it would prove too great a burden on the king's treasury, which paid for all the treatment he administered, and his own health.
