the doṣas are taught to be vāta and the others. / Diseases are taught to be fever and the rest; one should observe them thoroughly ### [3.3.12](https://indike.org/pramana/in.med.samhita.haritasamhita~en-mt.3.3.12) by the instruction of authoritative persons, by direct perception, / through the sight of the patient and so forth, through touch, and beyond that through questioning about cold and the like. ### [3.3.13](https://indike.org/pramana/in.med.samhita.haritasamhita~en-mt.3.3.13) The knowledge of disease is held to be threefold: by visual inspection, palpation, and interrogation; / through seeing the face and eyes, through touch, and beyond that through questioning about cold and the like. ### [3.3.14](https://indike.org/pramana/in.med.samhita.haritasamhita~en-mt.3.3.14) Curable is said to be of two kinds: difficult-manageable and easy of remedy. / Incurable is to be known as of two kinds: difficult and most difficult. ### [3.3.15](https://indike.org/pramana/in.med.samhita.haritasamhita~en-mt.3.3.15) Some \[diseases\] are manageable by their very nature; \[others\] become manageable through neglect, although curable; / diseases are curable by nature, yet some curable ones become \[incurable when\] neglected. ### [3.3.16](https://indike.org/pramana/in.med.samhita.haritasamhita~en-mt.3.3.16) Curable ones become manageable, and manageable ones become incurable; / and curable ones destroy the lives of men who take no action. ### [3.3.17](https://indike.org/pramana/in.med.samhita.haritasamhita~en-mt.3.3.17) A disease occurring on top of a disease is called a complication; / those with complications do not survive, \[while\] those without complications survive. ### [3.3.17.p1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.med.samhita.haritasamhita~en-mt.3.3.17.p1) Even if known to be slight, it should be thoroughly reflected upon by physicians; the host of diseases should not be neglected, for it \[becomes\] incurable. ### [3.3.18](https://indike.org/pramana/in.med.samhita.haritasamhita~en-mt.3.3.18) An enemy, though small, possessing a form like poison or fire, / once it has attained strength, cannot be pacified in time. ### [3.3.19](https://indike.org/pramana/in.med.samhita.haritasamhita~en-mt.3.3.19) An enemy, having gained the strength of an advantageous position, becomes powerful and makes his assault; / likewise a disease, having reached another bodily tissue, becomes powerful and makes its assault. ### [3.3.19.p1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.med.samhita.haritasamhita~en-mt.3.3.19.p1) Even that which has been brought to pacification through many kinds of treatment, the root of disease, even if slight, must not be retained, O knower of rules! ### [3.3.20](https://indike.org/pramana/in.med.samhita.haritasamhita~en-mt.3.3.20) Even a strong \[disease\], somehow checked by many wholesome regimens, / does not properly subside simply because of \[being treated with\] childishness. ### [3.3.21](https://indike.org/pramana/in.med.samhita.haritasamhita~en-mt.3.3.21) Just as a small amount of poison is fierce, just as a small serpent \[is deadly\], / and just as a fire, though very small, \[is destructive\], so too is the enemy of disease, though subtle. ### [3.3.22](https://indike.org/pramana/in.med.samhita.haritasamhita~en-mt.3.3.22) As long as a disease, having occupied a site, produces an abnormality, / so long does its counteraction \[succeed\] before the powerful one abandons its site. ### [3.3.23](https://indike.org/pramana/in.med.samhita.haritasamhita~en-mt.3.3.23) Some diseases are born of past actions, others arise from bodily humours, / and others are described as innate; diseases are considered threefold. ### [3.3.24](https://indike.org/pramana/in.med.samhita.haritasamhita~en-mt.3.3.24) Those, then, which do not subside through many treatments, / are declared to be dreadful diseases born of past actions. ### [3.3.25](https://indike.org/pramana/in.med.samhita.haritasamhita~en-mt.3.3.25) Humoral ones are those such as wind and bile; innate ones are hunger, thirst, and the like. ### [3.3.25.p1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.med.samhita.haritasamhita~en-mt.3.3.25.p1) Therefore, I shall first describe fever, the incomparable disease, in horses, elephants, human beings, cattle, deer, buffaloes, donkeys, camels, and other animals, and in trees, ### [3.3.26](https://indike.org/pramana/in.med.samhita.haritasamhita~en-mt.3.3.26) in creepers, plants, mountains, snakes, birds, and mice; / this life-destroying \[ailment\] named fever is indeed declared difficult to avert in the world. ### [3.3.27](https://indike.org/pramana/in.med.samhita.haritasamhita~en-mt.3.3.27) This disease of fever is incurable in cattle, buffaloes, horses, and elephants; / it is somewhat extremely difficult to cure in men, and it destroys the life of others. ### [3.3.28](https://indike.org/pramana/in.med.samhita.haritasamhita~en-mt.3.3.28) Just as a hunter is strongest among beasts, so this fever is powerful among diseases; / no other living beings on earth, beginning with the gods, are able to endure it, except man. ### [3.3.29](https://indike.org/pramana/in.med.samhita.haritasamhita~en-mt.3.3.29) Because through action a man attains divinity in heaven, / and then, having fallen from heaven, he exists as a human being again, ### [3.3.30](https://indike.org/pramana/in.med.samhita.haritasamhita~en-mt.3.3.30) therefore man endures fever because of that divine nature; / all the rest, the classes of animals, perish when afflicted by fever. ### [3.3.31](https://indike.org/pramana/in.med.samhita.haritasamhita~en-mt.3.3.31) This king of diseases among diseases is like the lion among beasts; / just as fire is foremost among burning things, so the disease fever is superior, / born from the fire of Rudra's wrath, tormenting all living beings. ### [3.3.32](https://indike.org/pramana/in.med.samhita.haritasamhita~en-mt.3.3.32) It is \[called\] pātaka in elephants, abhitāpa in horses, / the one named īśvara in cattle, and it is known as jvara in human beings. ### [3.3.33](https://indike.org/pramana/in.med.samhita.haritasamhita~en-mt.3.3.33) In buffalo cows it is dāridra, and in deer it is mṛgaroga; / in goats and sheep it is named pralāpa, and in young camels it is alasa. ### [3.3.34](https://indike.org/pramana/in.med.samhita.haritasamhita~en-mt.3.3.34) In dogs it is named alarka; in fish it is regarded as indramata; / in birds it is abhighāta; and in wild beasts it is named aikṣita. ### [3.3.35](https://indike.org/pramana/in.med.samhita.haritasamhita~en-mt.3.3.35) In water it is commonly nīlikā; in soils it has the name ūṣara; / in a tree it is koṭarākṣa; thus fever is seen everywhere. ### [3.3.36](https://indike.org/pramana/in.med.samhita.haritasamhita~en-mt.3.3.36) Having three feet, ashes as a weapon, three heads, and a very large belly, / clad in tiger skin, possessing a tawny, radiant body, ### [3.3.37](https://indike.org/pramana/in.med.samhita.haritasamhita~en-mt.3.3.37) with yellow-brown eyes, horse-like shanks, hairless, and mighty— / this being, for the destruction of the world, is known as Fever. ### [3.3.38](https://indike.org/pramana/in.med.samhita.haritasamhita~en-mt.3.3.38) Just as fire whose fuel is burnt out \[subsides\], just as poison having destroyed the bodily tissues \[ceases\], / so fever, having accomplished its aim by destroying the body, attains peace. ### [3.3.39](https://indike.org/pramana/in.med.samhita.haritasamhita~en-mt.3.3.39) Therefore, listen, my son, I shall explain its origin, / by which it became fourfold and eightfold, exceedingly terrible. ### [3.3.40](https://indike.org/pramana/in.med.samhita.haritasamhita~en-mt.3.3.40) Maheśvara, enraged and distracted by grief for his beloved wife, / emitted a fierce breath that quelled the supreme \[fire\] from Dakṣa; thereby fever became eightfold, through an eightfold origin. ### [3.3.41](https://indike.org/pramana/in.med.samhita.haritasamhita~en-mt.3.3.41) From the collection of wind, bile, phlegm, and blood, from indulgence in arbitrary diet and regimen, and from seasonal perversity, / the humours residing in the waste receptacles, expelled from the belly's digestive fire, stimulate the descent of fire situated in the blood. ### [3.3.42](https://indike.org/pramana/in.med.samhita.haritasamhita~en-mt.3.3.42) Hence they take on the established name of fever, caused by exercise, anger, eating, and the like, and arising from cold. ### [3.3.43](https://indike.org/pramana/in.med.samhita.haritasamhita~en-mt.3.3.43) Especially through incompatible food, through drinking waterfall water / or well water, being scorched by the fierce, piercing rays of the sun, ### [3.3.44](https://indike.org/pramana/in.med.samhita.haritasamhita~en-mt.3.3.44) through foul winds, injury to the humours, or a curse, / the greatly dreadful \[disease\] called fever arises intensely in a human being. ### [3.3.45](https://indike.org/pramana/in.med.samhita.haritasamhita~en-mt.3.3.45) Fatigue, dullness, wateriness of the eyes, horripilation, rattling in the throat, yawning, / discolouration, aversion \[to food\], and dryness in the mouth—these are the distinct characteristics of fever. ### [3.3.46](https://indike.org/pramana/in.med.samhita.haritasamhita~en-mt.3.3.46) In \[fever caused by\] wind there is yawning; from phlegm, dejection sets in; / from bile, burning heat in the eyes; and in one caused by all three humours, all \[occur\]; / therefore I shall state the remedy by which comfort is produced. ### [3.3.47](https://indike.org/pramana/in.med.samhita.haritasamhita~en-mt.3.3.47) One should drink sweet flag, carom seeds, coriander, and dry ginger as a decoction, warm at night; / for a man with fever of wind type with wind-pain, it promotes digestion and brings relief. ### [3.3.48](https://indike.org/pramana/in.med.samhita.haritasamhita~en-mt.3.3.48) Turmeric, neem, heart-leaved moonseed, coriander, dry ginger, and jaggery made into a decoction, / and at night a drink mixed with milk and jujube, serves for the digestion of fever caused by bile. ### [3.3.49](https://indike.org/pramana/in.med.samhita.haritasamhita~en-mt.3.3.49) Sweet flag, carom seeds, the three fruits, and dry ginger in a decoction at night, or in fever born of phlegm, / will be digestive of the humour for a man suffering from pain, catarrh, and chronic rhinitis. ### [3.3.50](https://indike.org/pramana/in.med.samhita.haritasamhita~en-mt.3.3.50) A decoction of spiked ginger lily, sweet flag, dry ginger, and box myrtle, / of heart-leaved moonseed and camel thorn, is wholesome in fever arising from all \[humours\], and promotes digestion in a man's tridosha condition. ### [3.3.51](https://indike.org/pramana/in.med.samhita.haritasamhita~en-mt.3.3.51) At night, for the wise, thorough massage of the limbs / with copious lukewarm water is wholesome, avoiding sleep and exertion. ### [3.3.52](https://indike.org/pramana/in.med.samhita.haritasamhita~en-mt.3.3.52) Trembling, irregular fever-paroxysms, desiccation, bad taste in throat, palate, and mouth, / roughness in the body, constipation, yawning, pain in the head, sleeplessness, ### [3.3.53](https://indike.org/pramana/in.med.samhita.haritasamhita~en-mt.3.3.53) blackness of the fingernails, delirium, strong body aches, loathing \[for food\], / sleeping like one frightened while awake—with these symptoms, fever caused by wind occurs in a person. ### [3.3.54](https://indike.org/pramana/in.med.samhita.haritasamhita~en-mt.3.3.54) Dry ginger, Himalayan cedar, coriander, Indian tinospora, and the two nightshades— / reduced to an eighth part, this is praised on the seventh night in fever. ### [3.3.55](https://indike.org/pramana/in.med.samhita.haritasamhita~en-mt.3.3.55) A medicine taken without food possesses superior potency and undoubtedly destroys that disease swiftly; / but if drunk by children, the aged, young women, and delicate persons, it quickly causes great exhaustion and loss of strength. ### [3.3.56](https://indike.org/pramana/in.med.samhita.haritasamhita~en-mt.3.3.56) Lightness of the sense organs, clarity of eyes and face, / and warmth in the stomach accompanied by eructation are signs that the medicine has digested. ### [3.3.57](https://indike.org/pramana/in.med.samhita.haritasamhita~en-mt.3.3.57) He in whom fatigue, nausea, debility, headache, giddiness, / and waterbrash arise should be known to have unassimilated medicine. ### [3.3.58](https://indike.org/pramana/in.med.samhita.haritasamhita~en-mt.3.3.58) Burning sensation, body weakness, fainting, headache, fatigue, dejection, / giddiness, especially during sexual intercourse—these are the signs of residual medicament. ### [3.3.59](https://indike.org/pramana/in.med.samhita.haritasamhita~en-mt.3.3.59) Therefore, while a remainder of the medicament persists, the humours are never pacified; / the humours become aggravated in various ways; one should not administer \[it\] without digestive \[therapy\]. ### [3.3.60](https://indike.org/pramana/in.med.samhita.haritasamhita~en-mt.3.3.60) It undergoes digestion quickly, does not impair strength, is not hindered by food, nor does it repeatedly come out of the mouth;

if thus there is no alleviation, one may cauterise with an iron probe. ### [3.3.146](https://indike.org/pramana/in.med.samhita.haritasamhita~en-mt.3.3.146) If the feet are cauterised and the chill remains, one should cauterise at the base of the big toe, or similarly at the wrist, on the heart, or on the head. ### [3.3.147](https://indike.org/pramana/in.med.samhita.haritasamhita~en-mt.3.3.147) A man who has cold sweat on the forehead, is afflicted with chill, is clammy, and whose \[breath\] remains stuck in the throat without reaching the chest, surely goes to the abode of Death. ### [3.3.148](https://indike.org/pramana/in.med.samhita.haritasamhita~en-mt.3.3.148) On the seventh day, or tenth day, or twelfth day, or again on the thirteenth or fifteenth day, it subsides or it kills. ### [3.3.149](https://indike.org/pramana/in.med.samhita.haritasamhita~en-mt.3.3.149) Now, on the fifteenth day it kills or spares the man— the most terrifying sannipāta fever, resembling the fire of cosmic dissolution. ### [3.3.150](https://indike.org/pramana/in.med.samhita.haritasamhita~en-mt.3.3.150) This is the time limit of the three humours for release or for destruction of this man by the humour of sannipāta, O best of physicians. ### [3.3.151](https://indike.org/pramana/in.med.samhita.haritasamhita~en-mt.3.3.151) If someone sprinkles a man with cold water in sannipāta with internal burning, how could the patient survive, and how could that physician be revered? ### [3.3.152](https://indike.org/pramana/in.med.samhita.haritasamhita~en-mt.3.3.152) What has not been accomplished by that physician who rescues a man fallen into the ocean of sannipāta? Endowed with virtue, fame, and humility, what honour on earth would that physician not obtain? ### [3.3.153](https://indike.org/pramana/in.med.samhita.haritasamhita~en-mt.3.3.153) Arising from all three humours, combined with the three—wind, bile, and phlegm— and joined with blood, fever becomes sānnipātika. ### [3.3.154](https://indike.org/pramana/in.med.samhita.haritasamhita~en-mt.3.3.154) Know that sānnipātika fever never exists without blood;

from that very cause a terrible swelling arises at the root of the ear. ### [3.3.156](https://indike.org/pramana/in.med.samhita.haritasamhita~en-mt.3.3.156) Therefore, for its remedy one should perform bloodletting by means of leeches, a gourd, or horn;
