पार्श्वेभ्यः पूर्यते श्लक्ष्णै (सूक्ष्मैः) स्यन्दमानैरनारतम् / तैस्तैरेव प्रविश्यैवन्दोषान्कुवन्ति विंशतिम्

Dhanvantari
Dosha: Mixed
Concept: The same channels that sustain life can, when disturbed, become pathways for doṣic derangement—effects follow causes through established conduits.
Vedantic Theme: Niyati/hetu-phala (lawful causation): orderly processes yield orderly results; disturbance yields suffering.
Application: Protect channel integrity: avoid habits that vitiate doṣas (dietary excess, dehydration, suppression of urges); treat early to prevent proliferation into multiple variants.
Primary Rasa: adbhuta
Secondary Rasa: shanta
Related Themes: Garuda Purana 1.158.2 (channel mouths and filling); Garuda Purana 1.158.4 (clinical manifestation)
