द्विविधास्तु व्याधयः- शस्त्रसाध्याः, स्नेहादिक्रियासाध्याश्च | तत्र शस्त्रसाध्येषु स्नेहादिक्रिया न प्रतिषिध्यते, स्नेहादिक्रियासाध्येषु शस्त्रकर्म न क्रियते ||३||

अस्मिन् पुनः शास्त्रे सर्वतन्त्रसामान्यात् सर्वेषां व्याधीनां यथास्थूलमवरोधः क्रियते | प्रागभिहितं ‘तद्दुःखसंयोगा व्याधय’ (सू. अ. १) इति | तच्च दुःखं त्रिविधम्- आध्यात्मिकम्, आधिभौतिकम्, आधिदैविकमिति | तत्तु सप्तविधे व्याधावुपनिपतति | ते पुनः सप्तविधा व्याधयः; तद्यथा- आदिबलप्रवृत्ताः, जन्मबलप्रवृत्ताः, दोषबलप्रवृत्ताः, सङ्घातबलप्रवृत्ताः, कालबलप्रवृत्ताः, दैवबलप्रवृत्ताः, स्वभावबलप्रवृत्ता इति ||४||

sanskrit

In this text, a general outline of all diseases is provided, as previously mentioned: "The cause of diseases is the union of suffering" (Sutra 1). This suffering is categorized into three types: Adhyatmika (physical), Adhibhautika (environmental), and Adhidaivika (divine). These, in turn, lead to seven kinds of diseases: Adi-bala-pravritta (inherited from parents) Janma-bala-pravritta (congenital or from maternal influence) Dosha-bala-pravritta (arising from the derangement of bodily humours) Sanghata-bala-pravritta (resulting from trauma) Kala-bala-pravritta (due to seasonal changes) Daiva-bala-pravritta (resulting from divine intervention or curses) Svabhava-bala-pravritta (natural or spontaneous)

तत्र, आदिबलप्रवृत्ता ये शुक्रशोणितदोषान्वयाः कुष्ठार्शःप्रभृतयः; तेऽपि द्विविधाः- मातृजाः, पितृजाश्च | जन्मबलप्रवृत्ता ये मातुरपचारात् पङ्गुजात्यन्धबधिरमूकमिन्मिनवामनप्रभृतयो जायन्ते; तेऽपि द्विविधाः रसकृताः, दौहृदापचारकृताश्च | दोषबलप्रवृत्ता ये आतङ्कसमुत्पन्ना मिथ्याहाराचारकृताश्च; तेऽपि द्विविधाः आमाशयसमुत्थाः , पक्वाशयसमुत्थाश्च; पुनश्च द्विविधाः- शारीरा, मानसाश्च | त एते आध्यात्मिकाः ||५||

sanskrit

Here, diseases are classified based on their origin: Adi-bala-pravritta (Inherited) Diseases: These include conditions like leprosy and hemorrhoids, which are further divided into two types: Maatruja: Arising from maternal factors. Pitrja: Arising from paternal factors. Janma-bala-pravritta (Congenital) Diseases: These result from maternal misconduct during pregnancy and include conditions such as blindness, deafness, or congenital deformities. They are also divided into two types: Rasa-krita: Resulting from derangement of the lymph-chyle. Dauhridya: Resulting from unfulfilled desires or misconduct of the mother during pregnancy. Dosha-bala-pravritta (Idiopathic) Diseases: These arise from the derangement of bodily humours due to improper diet or behavior. They are classified into: Amashaya-samutthita: Originating in the stomach. Pakvashaya-samutthita: Originating in the intestines. Each type can be further divided into: Shariira (Physical): Physical manifestations of the disease. Manasa (Mental): Psychological effects of the disease. These types fall under the category of Adhyatmika (physical) diseases.
