Nidāna of Mūtraghāta and Aśmarī: Doṣa-based Types, Signs, and Named Urinary Syndromes
सपिच्छं सनिरुद्धं च सर्वैः सर्वात्मकं मलैः / यदा वायुर्मुखं बस्तेर्व्यावर्त्य पारिशोषयन्
sapicchaṃ saniruddhaṃ ca sarvaiḥ sarvātmakaṃ malaiḥ / yadā vāyurmukhaṃ bastervyāvartya pāriśoṣayan
பலவகை மலங்களால் மூத்திரம் முழுதும் மாசடைந்து ஒட்டும் தன்மையுடன் தடைபட்டால், வாயு மூத்திரப்பையின் வாயிலைத் திருப்பி உலரச் செய்து, மூத்திரத் தடை மற்றும் மூத்திரக் க்ருச்சிரத்தை உண்டாக்கும்।
Lord Vishnu (speaking to Garuda/Vainateya)
Dosha: Vata/Kapha
Concept: Pathogenesis (samprāpti): malas thicken/obstruct urine; vāyu deranges flow by reversing/drying the bladder outlet.
Vedantic Theme: Causality in prakṛti: guṇa/doṣa imbalance yields predictable effects; knowledge reduces fear through intelligibility.
Application: Address both obstruction (malas/kapha) and vāta derangement (drying/reversal) in management—hydration, unctuous measures, and clearing channels as appropriate.
Primary Rasa: karuna
Secondary Rasa: bhayanaka

FAQs
It describes vāyu as the force that can constrict/deflect the bladder outlet, leading to drying and obstruction—an Āyurvedic explanation for urinary retention.
It does not address the after-death journey; it is a technical passage on bodily processes, framed as instruction from Vishnu to Garuda.
Symptoms like obstructed flow and mucous-like urine suggest blockage or inflammation—treat as medically urgent rather than waiting for self-resolution.
