Bagi orang yang terbiasa menahan kencing, gangguan yang berpunca daripada air kencing itu bergerak di dalam tubuh. Bahkan orang yang secara tabii tidak tamak dan memiliki penguasaan diri yang sempurna pun menjadi gelisah, walaupun ia mengalir dengan lembut dan halus.
Lord Vishnu (speaking to Garuda/Vinata-putra)
Dosha: Vata
Concept: Natural urges (vega) should not be forcibly suppressed; restraint must be intelligent, not harmful.
Vedantic Theme: Prakriti’s laws operate on the embodied; sattvic intention alone cannot cancel physiological causality (karma in the sense of cause-effect).
Application: Do not habitually hold urine; follow timely elimination; manage travel/work so bodily urges are respected; seek care if urinary symptoms arise.
Primary Rasa: karuna
Secondary Rasa: bhayanaka
Related Themes: Garuda Purana 1.160 (urinary disorders and vega-dharana consequences)
