Philosophical Teaching

Concept: Upadrava-bheda by adhiṣṭhāna-bheda: complications vary by the bodily locus affected; navel distension and bladder involvement leading to dysuria (mūtra-kṛcchra).

Vedantic Theme: Causal regularity (niyati) within prakṛti; knowledge reduces suffering through right action.

Application: Track symptoms by location (nābhi, basti, etc.) to guide intervention; seek care for abdominal distension and urinary difficulty early.
