2.6.4_3
That portion of it which enters the joints of the body produces in him yawning, body aches, and fever; that which enters the stomach produces diseases of the chest and anorexia; that which reaches the throat causes the throat to be irritated and the voice to sink; that which follows the channels carrying vital breath produces dyspnoea and chronic coryza; that which settles in the head afflicts his head; then, due to the injury to the chest, the irregular motion of vāyu, and the irritation of the throat, cough continuously arises in him; through the persistency of cough, the chest being injured, he spits blood; and from the discharge of blood, weakness arises in him. In this way, these complications originating from rash overexertion afflict the reckless man.
