Nidāna of Mūtraghāta and Aśmarī: Doṣa-based Types, Signs, and Named Urinary Syndromes
तत्संक्षोभाद्भवेत्सासृङ्मांसमध्वनि रुग्भवेत् / तत्र बाताभिसृत्यार्तोदन्तान् खादति वेपते
tatsaṃkṣobhādbhavetsāsṛṅmāṃsamadhvani rugbhavet / tatra bātābhisṛtyārtodantān khādati vepate
ด้วยความปั่นป่วนนั้น จึงมีของไหลปนเลือดและเนื้อ และเกิดความปวดไปตามทางเดิน ที่นั่นผู้ถูกลมวาตะเคลื่อนไหวรบกวน ย่อมกัดฟันแน่นและสั่นระริก॥
Lord Vishnu (narrating to Garuda/Vainateya)
Dosha: Vata
Concept: Causal chain: obstruction/agitation leads to tissue injury (blood/flesh admixture) and severe pain; Vata movement intensifies suffering.
Vedantic Theme: duhkha-darshana (clear seeing of suffering inherent in embodied life).
Application: Treat worsening urinary symptoms as urgent (blood, severe pain, systemic tremor); reduce Vata aggravators (overexertion, fasting, cold/dry exposure) and seek medical care.
Primary Rasa: karuna
Secondary Rasa: bibhatsa
Related Themes: Garuda Purana 1.158.12-14 (progressive symptom description: dropwise urination, burning by pitta, cold/heavy by kapha)
Vāta indicates the force of wind/air (a pain-aggravating principle) used here to depict intense torment experienced due to karma.
It suggests the soul’s post-death experience includes embodied sensations through a subtle form, where karmic results manifest as intense pain and agitation.
Use the teaching to strengthen dharma—avoid harmful actions, practice confession/atonement where appropriate, and cultivate compassion and restraint.
