ते पूर्वं केवला रोगाः पश्चाद्धेत्वर्थकारिणः | उभयार्थकरा दृष्टास्तथैवैकार्थकारिणः [१] ||२०||

sanskrit

Conditions in their primary stages or forms manifest themselves as diseases and subsequently act as causative factors for other diseases. They thus play a dual role - as a disease and as a causative factor. Some of these play just one role as well– either as a disease or as a causative factor.
