जलोदरे तृषारोगे ज्वरगण्डे विषूचके । श्वित्रकुछेअग्निदग्थे च सिध्मापस्मारयोरपि,इसी प्रकार वह जलोदर, तृषारोग, ज्वर, गलगण्ड (गलसूआ), विषूचिका (हैजा), सफेद कोढ़, अग्निदाह, सिथ्मा- (सफेद दाग या सेहँँवा), अपस्मार (मृगी) आदि रोगोंका शिकार होता रहता है
jalodare tṛṣāroge jvara-gaṇḍe viṣūcake | śvitrakuche ’gnidagdhe ca sidhmāpas-mārayor api ||
Sinabi ni Vasiṣṭha: Ang tao’y napapahamak sa maraming mabibigat na karamdaman—pamamaga dahil sa tubig sa tiyan (dropsy/ascites), nakapapayat na matinding uhaw, lagnat, goiter, matinding pagtatae na tila kolera, puting ketong, paso mula sa apoy, sidhmā (isang sakit sa balat na nagpapaputi o nagpapawala ng kulay), at maging epilepsy. Sa diwa ng talata, itinuturo ng pantas ang mga bunga sa katawan na sumusunod sa buhay na walang balanse at walang pagpipigil-sa-sarili, at binibigyang-diin ang aral na ang pagpapabaya sa dharma at disiplina ay hindi lamang nagdudulot ng pagbagsak ng asal kundi pati ng pagdurusa ng katawan.

Educational Q&A
The verse emphasizes that lack of restraint and imbalance in conduct can manifest as suffering in the body; ethical discipline (dharma, self-control) is presented as protective, while negligence leads to afflictions and misery.
Vasiṣṭha is instructing his listener by enumerating severe ailments to illustrate the tangible, bodily fallout of an undisciplined life, strengthening a broader moral argument about right living and its consequences.
