Anupāna and the Doṣa-Effects of Foods, Waters, Dairy, Oils, and Preparations

Devanagari script

गन्धस्पर्शरसास्तीव्राभोक्तुश्च स्यान्मनोव्यथा / आघ्राणे चाक्षिरोगः स्यादसाध्यश्च भिषग्वरैः / वेपथुर्जृम्भणाद्यं स्याद्विषस्यैतत्तु लक्षणम्

Transliteration

gandhasparśarasāstīvrābhoktuśca syānmanovyathā / āghrāṇe cākṣirogaḥ syādasādhyaśca bhiṣagvaraiḥ / vepathurjṛmbhaṇādyaṃ syādviṣasyaitattu lakṣaṇam

Translation

当嗅觉、触觉与味觉生起强烈辛烈之感时，受害者心神便受扰而苦。仅因嗅闻（毒气毒物），亦可生眼疾——纵使良医之最，亦难救治。战栗、呵欠及诸如此类的症状出现——此等确为中毒之相。

FAQs
