miśraiḥ pittādibhistadvanmiśrāṇyapitvanekadhā / tāṃllakṣayedavahito yathāsvaṃ lakṣaṇodayāt

Translation

De même, lorsque les états sont mêlés au pitta et aux autres doṣa, ils se combinent de multiples façons. Le médecin vigilant doit les reconnaître chacun selon les signes propres qui se manifestent.

Philosophical Teaching

Concept: Mixed doṣa conditions manifest in many permutations; accurate recognition depends on avadhāna (careful attention) to specific lakṣaṇa-udaya (emergent signs).

Vedantic Theme: Particularity within multiplicity; yathā-sva (according to its own nature) recognition—akin to seeing nāma-rūpa distinctions clearly.

Application: Track symptom evolution over time; identify dominant and secondary doṣas by their signature signs rather than assuming a single-cause disorder.

FAQs

This verse emphasizes that many illnesses are not purely vāta, pitta, or kapha; they occur in combinations, so correct recognition depends on observing the specific symptom-patterns.

Indirectly: it frames bodily suffering as governed by discernible causes and signs; such clarity supports dharmic living by encouraging right action and proper care of the body as a vehicle for spiritual practice.

Avoid one-size-fits-all remedies; observe symptoms carefully and seek a diagnosis that accounts for combined factors rather than treating everything as a single cause.
