सन्तापोऽभ्यधिको बाह्यस्तृष्णादीनां च मार्दवम्। बहिर्वेगस्य लिङ्गानि सुखसाध्यत्वमेव च ॥४१॥

Excessive rise in the body temperature and above features in mild form are the features of bahirvegi (external type of jwara) and this type of jwara is easily curable.

english translation

प्राकृतः सुखसाध्यस्तु वसन्तशरदुद्भवः। उष्णमुष्णेन संवृद्धं पित्तं शरदि कुप्यति ॥४२॥

[Prakrita jwara(seasonal jwara)] Jwara manifesting in the vasanta or spring season and sharada or autumn season is called prakrita (seasonal) jwara and is easily curable.

english translation

चितः शीते कफश्चैवं वसन्ते समुदीर्यते। वर्षास्वम्लविपाकाभिरद्भिरोषधिभिस्तथा ॥४३॥

Pitta gets aggravated during autumn season because of its inherent hot properties and hot environment. Kapha gets accumulated in winters and gets aggravated during spring season.

english translation

सञ्चितं पित्तमुद्रिक्तं शरद्यादित्यतेजसा। ज्वरं सञ्जनयत्याशु तस्य चानुबलः कफः ॥४४॥

The water and drugs (including the eatables) become sour in vipaka (taste that emerges after digestion) during the rainy season, which results in the accumulation of pitta. This accumulated pitta gets aggravated or excited (by the hot sunrays) during the autumn season.

english translation

प्रकृत्यैव विसर्गस्य तत्र नानशनाद्भयम्। अद्भिरोषधिभिश्चैव मधुराभिश्चितः कफः ॥४५॥

This can immediately produce jwara in which kapha dosha is secondarily associated. As vasanta is the part of visarga kala (the time of year when, body has good strength imparted by nature), no problem is created by fasting.
