इत्यस्य प्रकृतिः प्रोक्ता प्रवृत्तिस्तु परिग्रहात्| निदाने पूर्वमुद्दिष्टा रुद्रकोपाच्च दारुणात् ||१४||

sanskrit

[Pravritti (origin of the disease)] The origin of jwara is because of the tendency for greed or attachment (parigraha). It has been described earlier in the Nidana Sthana that the origin of jwara resulted from the ferocious wrath of Rudra (Lord Shiva).
