In this manner, vāta, pitta, and śleṣman, though pervading the entire body, dwell predominantly unvitiated in these locations.

The cause of their increase will be explained in the [chapters on] etiologies.

And in general, the characteristics of increase and decrease have been stated in the preceding chapter.

For increase is twofold, differentiated into accumulation and aggravation.

There, [qualities such as] unctuousness, accompanied by the cold quality, produce the accumulation of vāta;
accompanied by the cold quality, [dryness, etc., produce] aggravation; accompanied by the hot quality, unctuousness, etc., produce pacification.
Accompanied by the cold quality, sharpness, etc., produce the accumulation of pitta; accompanied by the hot quality, aggravation; accompanied by the cold quality, slowness, etc., produce pacification.
Accompanied by the cold quality, unctuousness, etc., produce the accumulation of kapha; accompanied by the hot quality, aggravation; but likewise, dryness, etc., produce pacification.

And from the excess of either vāta or pitta, the procedure for abhiṣyanda is according to each [doṣa].
