Then, from the depletion of semen and the discharge of blood, his joints become loose, dryness arises, weakness overcomes the body still further, and vāta becomes aggravated. That aggravated [vāta], traversing the helpless body and stirring up kapha and pitta, dries up the flesh and blood, dislodges kapha and pitta, produces pain in the flanks, crushes the shoulders, irritates the throat, agitates kapha, fills the head with kapha, and, afflicting the joints, causes body aches, anorexia, and indigestion; and from the irritation of pitta and kapha and from its own reversed movement, vāta gives rise to fever, cough, dyspnoea, hoarseness of voice, and coryza. From persistent coughing, his chest is injured and he spits blood, and from the loss of blood, weakness arises in him; then, beset by these drying complications, he gradually wastes away.
