अव्यक्त-गुण-पुरुषविवेकः | Avyakta, Guṇas, and Discrimination of Puruṣa

जलोदरे तृषारोगे ज्वरगण्डे विषूचके । श्वित्रकुछेअग्निदग्थे च सिध्मापस्मारयोरपि

jalodare tṛṣāroge jvara-gaṇḍe viṣūcake | śvitrakuche ’gnidagdhe ca sidhmāpas-mārayor api ||

瓦西什塔说道:人会遭受许多沉重的疾病折磨——腹水(水肿)、消耗性的剧渴、发热、甲状腺肿(瘿)、如霍乱般的剧烈痢疾、白癞(白色麻风)、火烧灼伤、sidhmā(皮肤失色之疾),乃至癫痫。就其语境而言,圣者指出:失衡而缺乏自制的生活会招致肉身的后果;并强调伦理的教训——忽视达摩与戒律,不仅使德行衰败,也会引来形体之苦。

Vasiṣṭha

Educational Q&A

The verse emphasizes that lack of restraint and imbalance in conduct can manifest as suffering in the body; ethical discipline (dharma, self-control) is presented as protective, while negligence leads to afflictions and misery.

Vasiṣṭha is instructing his listener by enumerating severe ailments to illustrate the tangible, bodily fallout of an undisciplined life, strengthening a broader moral argument about right living and its consequences.
