गुरुदेवादिकोपाच्च पञ्चोन्मादा भवन्त्य् अथ त्रिदोषजाः सन्निपाता आगन्तुरिति ते स्मृताः
gurudevādikopācca pañconmādā bhavanty atha tridoṣajāḥ sannipātā āganturiti te smṛtāḥ
От гнева учителя, богов и им подобных возникают пять видов безумия (unmāda). Их помнят как: рождающиеся из трёх дош (doṣa), возникающие при саннипате (sannipāta — совместном расстройстве всех дош) и как āgantuka (вызванные внешней причиной).

FAQs
It gives an Ayurvedic diagnostic classification (roga-nidāna) of unmāda (insanity), distinguishing doṣaja (doṣa-born), sannipātaja (combined-doṣa), and āgantuka (externally caused) forms, while also noting etiological triggers like the wrath of guru/deities.
Beyond theology, it preserves medical taxonomy: the Purana integrates Ayurveda’s clinical framework (doṣa-based causation and external causation) into a Purāṇic compendium, illustrating its multi-disciplinary scope.
By linking mental affliction to guru/deva-kopa, it underscores dharmic conduct—respect toward teachers and the divine—as a protective factor, implying that ethical and devotional alignment supports mental and bodily well-being.
