agnighātādaśuddheśca nṛṇāmasṛji dūṣite / vātalaiḥ śītalairvāyurvṛddhaḥ kruddho vimārgagaḥ
جب ہاضم آگنی کی کمزوری اور ناپاکی کے سبب انسانوں کا خون آلودہ ہو جائے، تو واتیہ اور سرد اسباب سے وایو بڑھ کر غضبناک ہوتی ہے اور بے راہ چلتی ہے۔
Dhanvantari
Dosha: Vata
Concept: Guarding agni and purity prevents doṣic derangement; disorder arises from incompatible, cold, vāta-aggravating causes.
Vedantic Theme: Deha as upādhi: imbalance in guṇas/doṣas obscures clarity; discipline sustains sattva for higher pursuits.
Application: Maintain digestive fire (agni) through appropriate diet, warmth, regularity; avoid excessive cold, dryness, fasting/overexertion that aggravate vāta; prioritize cleanliness and wholesome conduct.
Primary Rasa: karuna
Secondary Rasa: bhayanaka

FAQs
When agni is impaired, blood becomes vitiated; this sets the stage for vāyu to aggravate and move abnormally, producing disease.
It does not address the soul’s post-death route; it explains “path” in a physiological sense—vāyu moving through wrong bodily channels (vimārga-gamana).
Protect digestion, avoid excessive cold and vāta-aggravating foods, and address “impurity” through clean diet, routine, and timely correction of digestion.
