दोषः प्रकुपितो धातून् क्षपयत्यात्मतेजसा | इद्धः स्वतेजसा वह्निरुखागतमिवोदकम् ||३६||

sanskrit

When the doshas are aggravated, they deplete the dhatus (tissues) with their inherent energy. Just as fire, when lit, consumes water with its own heat, aggravated doshas consume the dhatus with their intrinsic energy.
