5.64
Diseases do not befall a person who makes no effort towards unobtainable objects, who always remains attentive regarding perils,
and who has conquered his senses, unless an unfavorable destiny appropriate to that time intervenes. /
From this, one should discern their increase and decrease according to their respective symptoms, as well as those of other uncalculated entities, both material and immaterial;
namely:
the waste products of flesh, ears, and so forth, as well as bodily wind, intellect, memory, and the like.
Cough, hiccup, fever, dyspnea, bleeding disorder, chest wound, and consumption; /
Of those that exist, there is no cause other than vāta superior for their generation. /
from bottle gourd, colocynth, tree of heaven, śamī, bael, and wood-apple. /
