[Three Ayatana (causes of diseases)] Atiyoga (excessive utilisation), ayoga (non-utilisation) and mithyayoga (wrong utilisation) of artha (objects of senses), karma (actions) and kala (time) are three causes of diseases. Examples are: -Atiyoga of sense of vision is excessive gazing at highly illuminous things, -Ayoga of sense of vision is to not look at anything -Mithyayoga of the sense of vision would be looking at things which are too close or too far, looking at awful, terrifying or surprising, contemptuous, frightful or deformed and alarming things is wrong utilization. Likewise, to hear loud noise coming out of thunder bolt, kettle drum, loud cries etc. are the examples of excessive utilization of sense of hearing, not hearing anything at all is non-utilization, hearing harsh words, news about death of near and dear or about loss of wealth, assaulting, insulting and terrifying sounds is wrong utilization of sense of hearing. Smelling of sharp, acute and intoxicating odors is excessive utilization of sense of olfaction, not to smell is non-utilization. Smelling of putrid, unpleasant, dirty, putrefied and cadaverous smell and poisonous gas is wrong utilization of sense of smell. ___Similarly, excessive intake of various substances with different tastes is over utilization of gustatory sense, not to use the sense is its non-utilization, and intake of things not considering the factors for utility of food mentioned in Vimana Sthana except rashi is the wrong utilization of gustatory senses. Excessive cold or hot water bath, excessive massage, unction etc. constitutes overuse of tactile senses, not to use at all is non-utilization, touch of uneven places, trauma, dirty objects, bhuta-sansparsha (microscopic organisms causing diseases) is the wrong utilization of tactile senses.
