Here, these three particular factors, beginning with etiology, bring about the rapid manifestation of pramehas caused by phlegm; namely: excessive and excessively large intake of newly harvested hāyanaka, yavaka, cīnaka, uddālaka, naiṣadha, itkaṭa, mukundaka, mahāvrīhi, pramodaka, and sugandhaka rice; likewise, the intake of newly harvested hareśu and māṣa pulses prepared with ghee, meats of domestic, wetland, and aquatic animals, greens, sesame, sesame paste, flour preparations, milk pudding, kṛśarā, vilepikā, and sugarcane products; intake mostly of milk, fresh wine, mandaka yogurt, and liquid, sweet, and fresh substances; avoidance of bodily cleansing and physical exercise; indulgence in sleep, lying down, and sitting; and whatever other regimen engenders phlegm, fat, and urine—all that is the particular etiology.
