Jvara-Nidāna-Lakṣaṇa: Causes, Doṣic Types, Āma/Nirāma Stages, and Prognosis of Fever
सततं निष्प्रतिद्वन्द्वाज्वरं कुर्युः सुदुः सहम् / मलं ज्वरोष्णधातून्वा स शीघ्रं क्षपयेत्ततः
satataṃ niṣpratidvandvājvaraṃ kuryuḥ suduḥ saham / malaṃ jvaroṣṇadhātūnvā sa śīghraṃ kṣapayettataḥ
निरन्तर ऐसा ज्वर-चिकित्सा-क्रम करना चाहिए जो प्रतिकूलताओं से रहित हो और दृढ़ता से सहा जाए। उससे ज्वरजन्य मल अथवा ज्वर से उष्ण हुए धातु शीघ्र ही क्षीण हो जाते हैं।

FAQs
This verse frames fever-management as a disciplined, uninterrupted regimen that removes internal impurities (mala) and fever-aggravated bodily constituents (dhātus), emphasizing purification through proper method and endurance.
Within the Vishnu–Garuda instruction framework, the text often presents practical disciplines (here, health/therapy) as dharmic practices—methods that reduce impurity and restore balance when followed without contradictory measures.
Follow a consistent, medically sound treatment plan without mixing conflicting remedies, and cultivate patience and discipline during recovery—aiming at reducing root causes and “impurities” rather than only suppressing symptoms.
