جب بخار اتر جائے تو یہ نشان ظاہر ہوتے ہیں: بدن ہلکا محسوس ہوتا ہے؛ تھکن، غشی اور جلنے کی تپش دور ہو جاتی ہے؛ منہ میں صحت مند ذائقہ لوٹ آتا ہے؛ حواس درست کام کرتے ہیں اور درد نہیں رہتا؛ پسینہ اور چھینک آتی ہے؛ دل و دماغ اپنی فطری حالت کے ساتھ ہم آہنگ ہو کر ٹھہر جاتا ہے؛ کھانے کی خواہش پیدا ہوتی ہے؛ اور سر میں خارش محسوس ہوتی ہے—یہ بخار کے زائل ہونے کی علامتیں ہیں۔
Lord Vishnu (speaking to Garuda/Vainateya)
Concept: Lakshanas of fever remission: lightness, return of taste and sensory function, absence of pain, sweating/sneezing, steadied mind, appetite, and scalp itching.
Vedantic Theme: Sattva’s return: when disturbance subsides, the mind naturally tends toward steadiness; health supports clarity for higher pursuits.
Application: Use these signs to confirm convalescence; reintroduce food gradually as appetite returns; support rest and routine to stabilize mind and senses.

Secondary Rasa: adbhuta

FAQs
This verse lists practical indicators—lightness, restored taste, normal senses, appetite, sweating/sneezing—used to judge that fever has truly eased and the body is returning to balance.
It does not directly describe the soul’s journey; instead, it focuses on embodied life by giving observable signs of recovery, reflecting the Purana’s broader concern with dharma through health and right living.
Use these signs as a traditional checklist for convalescence—return of appetite, clarity, reduced heat and pain—while still relying on appropriate medical care for diagnosis and treatment.
