sanskrit

The aggravated vata spreads throughout the body, and along with vasa (muscle fat), enters the ureter leading to the manifestation of vasameha. When it carries marrow to the urinary bladder, it results in majjameha. Due to the large quantity of lasika (lymphs) in the body and also due to the property of vata to dissipate things, lasika entering the urinary bladder produces large quantity of urine, causing a continuous urge for micturition and, thus, passing copious amounts of urine continuously (even) without any pressure, like an elephant (hasti) gone amuck. Thus, this is also known as hastimeha. Ojas is, by nature, of sweet taste. However, its roughness causes vata to convert it into an astringent tasting element. This vata-afflicted ojas, when gets into the urinary bladder, causes madhumeha.
