भवन्ति चात्र- धात्वन्तरेषु याः सप्त कलाः सम्परिकीर्तिताः | तास्वेकैकामतिक्रम्य वेगं प्रकुरुते विषम् ||४०||

sanskrit

The seven stages of venom progression in different bodily tissues are as follows: 1. The venom first affects the blood, causing it to become contaminated and exhibiting symptoms such as blackening or yellowing of the skin, swelling, and burning. 2. It then spreads to the flesh, resulting in further discoloration, excessive swelling, and intense pain at the bite site. 3. The venom reaches the fat, causing heaviness in the head, sweating, and visual impairment, among other symptoms. 4. Next, it penetrates the intestines, affecting the digestive system and causing symptoms like drowsiness, salivation, and joint dislocation. 5. The venom then reaches the bones, disturbing the body's vitality, leading to joint pain, hiccups, and fever. 6. In the sixth stage, it contaminates the marrow, severely disturbing the digestion, resulting in diarrhea, chest pain, and fainting. 7. Finally, the venom reaches the reproductive fluid, intensely aggravating the vyana and causing obstruction of subtle channels, leading to paralysis, excessive salivation, and breathlessness.
