Visarpa Nidāna-Lakṣaṇa

Causes, Types, and Prognosis of Rapidly Spreading Eruptive Disorders

Devanagari script

प्रकोपनैः प्रकुपिता विशेषेण विदाहिभिः / देहे शीघ्रं विशन्तीह ते ऽन्तरे हि स्थिता बहिः

Transliteration

prakopanaiḥ prakupitā viśeṣeṇa vidāhibhiḥ / dehe śīghraṃ viśantīha te 'ntare hi sthitā bahiḥ

Translation

Die Doṣas, durch aufwühlende Faktoren gereizt—besonders durch solche, die Brennen und Reizung hervorrufen—dringen rasch in den Körper ein und breiten sich aus; sie bewegen sich von innen, treten jedoch nach außen in Erscheinung.

Dhanvantari

Philosophical Teaching

Concept: Pathogenesis: doṣas, provoked especially by burning/irritant factors, swiftly permeate the body—internally rooted yet externally expressed.

Vedantic Theme: Hidden causes producing visible effects; subtle-to-gross manifestation (from antar to bahir) as a general explanatory pattern.

Application: Avoid vidāhi (burning/irritant) provocatives; intervene early to prevent systemic spread; treat both internal doṣa imbalance and external presentation.

Verse Rasa

Primary Rasa: bhayanaka

Secondary Rasa: raudra

Cross References

Related Themes: Garuda Purana 1.163.4 (specific triggers: thirst, urge suppression/irregularity, agni decline)

FAQs

The verse highlights burning/irritating provocations as key accelerants of doṣa aggravation, explaining why the condition can spread rapidly.

It does not describe the soul’s journey; it describes disease spread (doṣa movement) and outward manifestation in a medical context.

Avoid heat/irritant triggers that worsen inflammatory skin issues and seek prompt treatment when symptoms spread quickly.
