Jvara-Nidāna-Lakṣaṇa: Causes, Doṣic Types, Āma/Nirāma Stages, and Prognosis of Fever
दाहः पित्तयुते मिश्रं मिश्रे ऽन्तः संश्रये पुनः / ज्वरे ऽधिकं विकाराः स्युरन्तः क्षोभो मलग्रहः
dāhaḥ pittayute miśraṃ miśre 'ntaḥ saṃśraye punaḥ / jvare 'dhikaṃ vikārāḥ syurantaḥ kṣobho malagrahaḥ
Bila rasa terbakar disertai pitta, ia menjadi gangguan campuran. Saat keadaan campuran itu kembali menetap di dalam, maka pada demam gangguan makin kuat—terjadi kegelisahan batin dan tertahannya kotoran tubuh.
Lord Vishnu (teaching Garuda/Vinata-putra)
Dosha: Pitta
Concept: Complication mechanism: pitta-associated burning becomes mixed; when it re-seats internally, fever intensifies with internal turbulence and mala retention.
Vedantic Theme: Causality (kārya-kāraṇa) in embodied suffering; small imbalances compound when not resolved at the right stage.
Application: Address pitta and mixed-doṣa signs early; watch for internalization (antar-āśraya), restlessness, and constipation/urinary retention; prioritize clearing channels and supporting digestion.
Primary Rasa: karuna
Secondary Rasa: bibhatsa

This verse highlights a diagnostic principle: when burning sensation is linked with pitta and then becomes “mixed,” the condition can intensify internally, producing stronger fever-related derangements.
This specific verse is not about the soul’s journey or Yama’s realm; it belongs to a medical/physiological teaching section describing fever pathology through doṣa imbalance and internal obstruction.
Treat fever and burning sensations as signs of internal imbalance and possible waste-retention; seek timely medical guidance and avoid habits that aggravate heat and obstruction (e.g., overly spicy/heavy foods during fever).
