देहौषधक्षयकृतेः क्षयस्तत्सम्भवाच्च सः । रसादिशोषणाच्छोषो रोगराट् तेषु राजनात् ॥ ३ ॥

sanskrit

Because it leads to loss/depletion of the body and of medicines (because of its persistence for long time in the body) and also because it is the cause of many diseases (which cause depletion of the body and medicines) it is called Kshaya. It is Shosha, because it produces depletion (drying up, diminution or loss) of Rasa and others (Dhatus/tissues) and Rogarat – king of diseases – since it reigns (overpowers, subdues, controls) over them.
