Transliteration

nireti saha mūtreṇa pratilome vipacyate / mūtrasaṃdhāraṇaṃ kuryātkruddho bastermukhe marut

Translation

ఇది మూత్రంతో కలిసి బయటకు వస్తుంది; కానీ ప్రతిలోమ గతి కలిగితే లోపలే పాకి తీవ్రమవుతుంది. అప్పుడు బస్తి ముఖంలో క్రోధించిన వాయువు మూత్రమార్గాన్ని అడ్డగించి బలవంతంగా మూత్రధారణ కలిగిస్తుంది.

Philosophical Teaching

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.

Verse Rasa

Primary Rasa: karuna

FAQs

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.
