It has been mentioned under the heading

Nidan |
Usually as per Vata-vyadhi and mainly
‘Dhatukshayatmak’. |
Chiefly as per ‘Aavarak’ and associated
Vata-prakopa Nidanas. |
iv.
|
A. Anya Dosha-chintan (Consideration of Other Dosha) |
Usually no or very less consideration of
Kapha & Pitta. |
Being ‘Aavarak’ & ‘Aavritta’
phenomenon in pathology, Aavarak is usually
other than Vata-dosha, like Pitta & Kapha or dooshyas & usually these
are exaggerated/vitiated leading to obstruction in channels for the movement
of the Vata-dosha. |
B. Vata-prakopa |
Independent due to Dhatu-kshaya. (Swatantra) |
Not Independent due to ‘Margavarodha’ by
vitiated Kapha/pitta or other Dooshyas. (Paratantra) |
|
C. Dooshya |
Usually Dooshya gets kshaya (decrease qualitatively as well as quantitatively) condition hence leading to reactive Vata-prakopa as per principle देहे स्रोतांसि रिक्तानि पूरयित्वाऽनिलो बली ॥१८॥ It may be in Koshtha, Shakha or
Marmasthisandhi or Indriya; all together. It must me noted that Dooshyas are
not so much exaggerated/ vitiated here
that could obstruct the path of Vata-dosha. |
Kapha/Pitta or Dooshyas are so
much exaggerated/ vitiated here that they do obstruct the path of
Vata-dosha. Above vitiation is also due to associated Vata-prakopa. Vitiated
Vatadosha first vitiates Kapha/Pitta or Dooshyas & then after Vatadosha
itself gets obstructed by vitiated Dosha/Dooshyas etc. as per the principle... कुपितस्तौ समुद्धूय तत्र तत्र क्षिपन् गदान् ॥६०॥ करोत्यावृतमार्गत्वाद्रसादींश्
|
|
D. Clinical Presentation |
Usually Signs & Symptoms are as per
the site or Kshaya of specific Dooshya Viz. Koshthashrita Vata Sarvangashrita Vata Aamashayagat Vata etc. (Here vitiated vatadosha causing the
disturbance in physiology at specific site, depriving the function of other
physiological entities and causing the localized or generalized pathology, hence it has been mentioned
separately to establish the importance of Vata-dosha.) Or Rasagata Vata Raktagata Vata etc. (these are best examples to understand
the capability of vatadosha. These phenomenon might be similar to various
mentioned clinical disease entities but to elicit the main role of the
vatadosha in the body, these are mentioned under the heading of Vatavyadhi. |
Usually Signs & Symptoms are
mentioned as generalized, not limited to specific area regarding the Kapha
& Pitta as Aavarak. लिङ्गं पित्तावृते दाहस्तृष्णा शूलं भ्रमस्तमः१ ॥६१॥ कट्वम्ललवणोष्णैश्च विदाहः शीतकामिता ।
In context to other Dooshyas,
simultaneous vitiation of individual Dooshya has been mentioned that is an
indication that Dooshyas are not decreased qualitatively as well as
quantitatively initially, later it may possible as disease progresses.. रक्तावृते सदाहार्तिस्त्वङ्मांसान्तरजो भृशम् ॥६३॥ भवेत् सरागः श्वयथुर्जायन्ते मण्डलानि च ।

SROTAS |

involve any type of the srotas in the body. Gatavata phenomenon usually involve one
srotas as per the description by Charak but may involve more than one if
multiple potent Nidanas have been indulged. |
Mainly Mahasrotas including all srotasas because Vatadosha is capable

multiple srotas as per the description by Charak because of ‘Aavaran’

vatavyadhi in the future. |
