हेमन्ते, सूर्यसन्तप्तः स वसन्ते प्रकुप्यति| वसन्ते श्लेष्मणा तस्माज्ज्वरः समुपजायते ||४६||

sanskrit

During hemanta (early winter) the water and drugs (including eatables) become sweet in taste, which helps in accumulation of kapha. This kapha gets aggravated during the subsequent spring season due to the strong sunrays (which melt this kapha).
