في الجسد يتهيج فايُو (Vāta) بأكل الطعام الرديء أو غير الملائم، وكذلك بسبب الحزن؛ وكذلك عند من يتناولون ما هو مُحرق أو لاذع، ومن يتعرضون للحرارة أو النار، ومن يأكلون الطعام الحار، ومن يفرطون في كثرة السفر والتنقّل.

FAQs
Ayurvedic roga-nidāna/pathya-apathya: it lists practical causes that provoke Vāta—poor food, grief, irritant/burning diet, heat exposure, hot food, and excessive travel.
It shows the Purana functioning as a medical handbook section: alongside ritual and theology, it preserves Ayurvedic lifestyle-etiology (doṣa-prakopa hetu) in a concise, rule-like form.
By restraining grief-driven habits and avoiding harmful diet/overexertion, one protects bodily balance (doṣa-sāmya), supporting steadiness for dharma, worship, and disciplined living.
