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
ದಾಹವು ಪಿತ್ತದೊಂದಿಗೆ ಸೇರಿದಾಗ ಅದು ಮಿಶ್ರ ವಿಕಾರವಾಗುತ್ತದೆ. ಆ ಮಿಶ್ರ ಸ್ಥಿತಿ ಮತ್ತೆ ಒಳಗೆ ನೆಲೆಸಿದರೆ ಜ್ವರದಲ್ಲಿ ವಿಕಾರಗಳು ಹೆಚ್ಚಾಗುತ್ತವೆ—ಅಂತರಕ್ಷೋಭ ಮತ್ತು ಮಲಗ್ರಹ (ಮಲದ ಅಡ್ಡಿ) ಉಂಟಾಗುತ್ತದೆ.
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
Related Themes: Garuda Purana 1.147.33 (sāma/nirāma; internal/external); Garuda Purana 1.147.34 (vāyu-driven phase shift)
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).
