अत्युष्णतीक्ष्णश्च मृदौ च कोष्ठे प्रणीतमात्रः पुनरेति बस्तिः| मेदःकफाभ्यामनिलो निरुद्धः शूलाङ्गसुप्तिश्वयथून् करोति||५७||

• If there is lack of strength in anal muscles to retain the enema • If the enema contains ingredients which are excessively hot and strong • If the person has laxed bowel. [Reason for failure of basti to cure curable diseases] If the vata gets occluded by meda (fats) and kapha then it gives rise to colic pain, numbness of the body and edema.
