Vidradhi–Gulma Nidāna
Causes and Signs of Abscess and Abdominal Mass
प्रायस्तु यत्तद्द्वन्द्वोत्था गुल्माः संसृष्टमैथुनाः / सर्वजस्तीव्ररुग्दाहः शीघ्रपाकी घनोन्नतः
prāyastu yattaddvandvotthā gulmāḥ saṃsṛṣṭamaithunāḥ / sarvajastīvrarugdāhaḥ śīghrapākī ghanonnataḥ
Phần nhiều, các gulma ấy phát sinh do hai doṣa cùng khởi và do các nhân duyên pha tạp. Loại do cả ba doṣa hợp lại gây đau rát dữ dội, chín mủ rất nhanh, và trở nên đặc chắc, nổi gồ cao.
Lord Vishnu (in instruction to Garuda/Vinata-putra)
Concept: Etiology is often dual-doṣa and mixed nidāna; tri-doṣa gulma is severe with rapid progression.
Vedantic Theme: Viveka (discernment) through classification reduces confusion and guides right action (pravṛtti) in embodied life.
Application: Identify causative mixtures and doṣa involvement; tri-doṣa signs (tīvra-ruj, dāha, quick pāka, raised dense mass) warrant urgent care.
Primary Rasa: adbhuta
Secondary Rasa: bhayanaka

The verse classifies gulma by causation—two-doṣa (dvandvottha) and all-doṣa (sarvaja/tridoṣaja)—and flags the tridoṣa type as more acute with severe pain, burning, and rapid ‘ripening’.
It does not narrate Yama’s path here; it teaches careful observation of suffering and impermanence, reinforcing the Purana’s broader ethic of timely right action (dharma) while embodied.
Severe abdominal pain with burning and fast-worsening swelling is urgent; the verse’s ‘rapid ripening’ suggests quick progression—seek prompt clinical care rather than self-treatment.
