Nidāna of Mūtraghāta and Aśmarī: Doṣa-based Types, Signs, and Named Urinary Syndromes
निरेति सह मूत्रेण प्रतिलोमे विपच्यते / मूत्रसंधारणं कुर्यात्क्रुद्धो बस्तेर्मुखे मरुत्
nireti saha mūtreṇa pratilome vipacyate / mūtrasaṃdhāraṇaṃ kuryātkruddho bastermukhe marut
Ia keluar bersama air kencing; namun bila alirannya berbalik (pratiloma), ia ‘termasak’ dan makin ganas di dalam. Saat itu Vayu yang murka di mulut kandung kemih menghalangi jalan kencing sehingga terjadi penahanan kencing secara paksa.
Lord Viṣṇu (in dialogue with Garuḍa)
Dosha: Vata
Concept: Understanding bodily vāyu disturbance and pratiloma (reverse movement) as a cause of urinary retention and internal ‘cooking’ (vipāka/saṃpāka).
Vedantic Theme: Sharira as prakṛti-field; discernment (viveka) through accurate knowledge of cause-and-effect in embodied life.
Application: Avoid suppressing natural urges (especially mūtra-vega); seek timely treatment when retention/obstruction begins; observe early signs of vātaprakopa.
Primary Rasa: karuna
Secondary Rasa: bhayanaka

Pratiloma (reverse movement) is presented as a key pathological factor: when vāyu moves against its natural direction, urinary matter is obstructed and the condition worsens.
It does not address the afterlife narrative; it explains bodily obstruction and vāyu disturbance as causes of urinary retention.
It cautions against suppressing natural urges (like urination) and points to obstruction/inflammation as warning signs requiring attention.
