<p style="text-align:justify;">In continuation of the previous chapter, this chapter delves into classifications of diseases. Diseases have been broadly classified here into two groups – one comprising of diseases manifesting as a result of involvement of two or more [[dosha]](Samanyaja Vyadhi), while the other focusing on diseases caused due to a single [[dosha]] (Nanatmaja Vyadhi). Forty-eight diseases have been enlisted with their types from diagnostic perspective in this chapter. The role of [[dosha]] in etiopathogenesis of the diseases, difference between the exogenous and endogenous diseases and their coexistence is also described. One to one correlation of these disease entities with those in conventional medicine has limited scope. Some diseases described in this chapter can be exactly correlated with diseases of conventional medicine whereas some cannot be. </p>
In continuation of the previous chapter, this chapter delves into classifications of various diseases. Diseases have been broadly classified here into two groups – one comprising of diseases manifesting as a result of involvement of two or more ''doshas'' (''Samanyaja Vyadhi''), while the other focusing on diseases caused due to a single ''dosha'' (''Nanatmaja Vyadhi''). Forty-eight diseases have been enlisted with their types from diagnostic perspective in this chapter. The role of ''doshas'' in etiopathogenesis of the diseases, difference between the exogenous and endogenous diseases and their coexistence has also been described. In modern medicine, classification and knowledge of these diseases differs. Some diseases described in this chapter can be exactly correlated with diseases of modern medicine whereas some cannot be.

<div style="text-align:justify;">
Important principles of diseases in this section of the ''Roga Chatushka'' (tetrad on diseases) have been described. The preceding chapter provided a broader explanation for the cause of innumerable diseases due to ''dosha'' vitiation as well as variations in characteristics like pain, sign, etiology, site of origin, site of manifestation, symptoms and nomenclature. However, only the most important diseases, probably prevalent at that time, have been classified in view of prescribing treatment. Classification of these known diseases, based on characteristics provided above, and coupled with a few more variables such as prognosis, chronicity, treatment etc. have been done at various places within the [[Charaka Samhita]]. On critically analyzing, we find that the diseases have been classified into groups having as few as one to as many as eight diseases each.Three disease groups of twenty types each have been classified at the end. It has been observed that the listing of groups by diseases has been done in a descending order - from those having eight diseases to one  - because there are no other groups that have greater than eight types of diseases within them, except for the three groups with twenty types. Hence, these outliers (with twenty types) have been enumerated at the end rather than in the beginning of the chapter. Even though there are eighteen types of obstinate skin diseases, only the seven most obstinate ones have been enumerated here.

Hence, these outliers (with twenty types) have been enumerated at the end rather than in the beginning of the chapter. Even though there are eighteen types of obstinate skin diseases, only the seven most obstinate ones have been enumerated here.  
  
As mentioned above, various modes of classification have been used to classify diseases in the Samhita - some diseases have been classified only according to ''doshas'' involved, such as ''apasmara'' (epilepsy), ''akshi roga'' (eye diseases), ''mukha roga'' (diseases of oral cavity), ''pratishyaya'' (rhinitis) etc. In some cases, apart from ''doshas'', certain etiological factors have also been considered and nomenclature has been done accordingly e.g. in case of ''unmada, pandu roga, hridroga, chhardi, shosha, vrana'' etc. Some diseases have been classified taking into consideration only prominent clinical features, such as in the case of ''kushtha, kilasa, arsha, jwara,'' and ''aayama''.  In some cases, nomenclature is based on the site involved in pathogenesis, as in ''rakta pitta, kamala'' etc, while in some cases, severity has been the basis for classification e.g. ''vatarakta''. We also find groups containing sub-classes or sub-groups of diseases. This hierarchical basis has been used while classifying the three disease families mentioned that have twenty types of diseases. ''Krimi'' are first classified into ''bahya, raktaja, shleshmaja'' and ''purishaja'' which are sub-classified into other diseases. Similarly, twenty types of ''pramehas'' are broadly classified into three groups on the basis of ''doshas'' and then subtypes are mentioned. ''Yoni vyapada'' (gynecological disorders) are broadly classified into diseases caused by ''dosha'' and diseases caused by amalgamation of ''doshas'' and ''dushyas'', with further sub-classifications. Thus, it can be said that classification has not been restricted to a single hierarchic pattern but a hierarchical system for disease classification as well. Still, the classification of all known diseases is not complete using the above mentioned system. Need-based or contextual re-classification of various disease groups can be found in many places within the Samhita.

This lack of standardization or disease classification or nomenclature does warrant a need to frame some standards that are unanimously acceptable across the world. In fact, the need for standardizing disease classifications has been strongly aired by experts and this body of classification has been given the name of Ayurvedic Classification of Diseases (ACD). Moreover, considering the importance of traditional medicine, the World Health Organization (WHO) is also incorporating Traditional Medicine (TM) in ICD-11. WHO recently completed a survey among member nations and discovered that 82% of the world's population uses some form of TM.[2]  To bring all countries onto one platform for health management requires the inclusion of TM in ICD.

To make this happen, immense efforts are required to develop adequate nomenclature and classification for Ayurvedic diseases. However, there are practical challenges associated with correlating all these diseases mentioned in Ayurveda with modern disease families. For example, certain diseases or disorders such as ''kushtha, pandu, prameha, gulma,'' etc. may not have an equivalent in modern medicine. Some do have a direct correlation with those found or classified today, such as ''bhagandara, kamala, baddhodara, chidrodara, tamaka shwasa'' etc.

The relationship between the ''doshas'' and endogenous diseases can be explained using the following analogy mentioned in this text:  just as no bird (under the Sun) can fly without casting a shadow, no endogenous disease (caused by the disturbance of the equilibrium of ''dhatus'') can occur without the vitiation of ''vata, pitta'' and ''kapha''. The exogenous diseases may or may not be caused due to a vitiated ''dosha'' but so far as their treatment is concerned, ''doshas'' need not be factored in. There is also a mention of exogenous and endogenous diseases coexisting together. Endogenous diseases are, at times, followed by the exogenous ones and vice-versa. While treating such conditions, one should start treatment on the basis of the secondary development and our understanding of the primary nature of the disease.

All the endogenous diseases occur invariably due to the vitiation of ''vata, pitta'' and ''kapha''. As a bird cannot infringe upon its own shadow even by flying throughout the day, in the same way all the diseases are produced by disturbances in equilibrium in ''dhatu'' and cannot occur without vitiation of ''vata, pitta'' and ''kapha''. By examining location, sign and symptoms, causes of vitiation of ''vata'', ''pitta'' and ''kapha'' in any condition, the intelligent physician diagnose all diseases. (5)

*In this verse 12 diseases have been mentioned which have 5 subtypes. If we analyze five subtypes of each disease we will find that in most of the cases four sub-types are ''vataja, pittaja, kaphaja'' and ''sannipataja''. Fifth type varies in many of above mentioned diseases like in ''gulma'' and ''pleeha dosha - raktaja'', in ''chhardi- dwistarthsangyogaja'', in ''bhaktasyanasana - dweshaja,'' in ''shiroroga'' and ''hridroga - krimija'', in ''pandu – mridbhakshanaja'' and in ''unmada – agantuja''. Any cause other than ''dosha'' remarkably changes pathogenesis of disease so keeping this fact in mind, last subtypes have been separately mentioned and named. For the same reason in ''kasa'', in place of ''sannipataja, kshataja'' and ''kshayaja kasa'' and in ''trishna'' in place of ''kaphaja - aamaja, trishna'' have been mentioned. In ''shvasa'' division has been done on the basis of prominent symptoms and in ''hikka'' it is based on both symptoms and causative factors. [Verse no. 4(4)]

Cardinal feature of ''udara roga'' is swelling in abdomen so all diseases having presentation with abdominal swelling/distension can be taken under common term ''udara roga''. In general diseases of stomach and bowel can be included in it. <ref>Williams Monier, Sanskrit – English Dictionary, Motilal Varanasi Publications, Reprint- 1997, Page no 184 </ref>[Madhukosh on M.Ni.35/1, Ch.Su.18/31]

So, ''udara rogas'' described in Ayurveda can be correlated with different intraabdominal conditions in which abdominal swelling/distension is the prime feature eg. abdominal tumours, hepato/splenomegalies, intestinal obstruction, perforation, ascites etc. Subtypes of ''udara roga'' are named and described on the cause of swelling/distension. First four types are named after ''dosha'' involved. Description of ''pleehodara'' in [[Chikitsa Sthana]] closely resembles with spleen enlargement. ''Pleeha'' refers to spleen so all conditions with predominant splenomegaly which cause visible abdominal swelling/distension can be taken by the term ''pleehodara''. ''Baddha'' means obstruction, and so obstructive conditions leading to abdominal swelling/distension can be clubbed as ''baddhodara''. Cause and symptoms closely resembles with that of intestinal obstruction so intestinal obstruction could be the possible modern correlate. ''Chhidra'' refers to cavity or hole. In description of ''chhidrodara'' it is clearly mentioned that intestine is injured which leads to exudation of material from intestine to abdominal cavity from the injured site. This condition closely resembles intestinal perforation. ''Udaka'' literally refers to water. ''Udakodara'' or ''jalodara'' is a condition in which fluid is accumulated in intestine. Based on resemblance in clinical features it can be correlated with ascites.

Abstract

In continuation of the previous chapter, this chapter delves into classifications of diseases. Diseases have been broadly classified here into two groups – one comprising of diseases manifesting as a result of involvement of two or more dosha(Samanyaja Vyadhi), while the other focusing on diseases caused due to a single dosha (Nanatmaja Vyadhi). Forty-eight diseases have been enlisted with their types from diagnostic perspective in this chapter. The role of dosha in etiopathogenesis of the diseases, difference between the exogenous and endogenous diseases and their coexistence is also described. One to one correlation of these disease entities with those in conventional medicine has limited scope. Some diseases described in this chapter can be exactly correlated with diseases of conventional medicine whereas some cannot be.

Keywords: kapha, nija, pitta, sannipattika, vikara, vata, numerical classification, diseases.


Introduction

Important principles of diseases in this section of the Roga Chatushka (tetrad on diseases) have been described. The preceding chapter provided a broader explanation for the cause of innumerable diseases due to dosha vitiation as well as variations in characteristics like pain, sign, etiology, site of origin, site of manifestation, symptoms and nomenclature. However, only the most important diseases, probably prevalent at that time, have been classified in view of prescribing treatment. Classification of these known diseases, based on characteristics provided above, and coupled with a few more variables such as prognosis, chronicity, treatment etc. have been done at various places within the Charak Samhita. On critically analyzing, we find that the diseases have been classified into groups having as few as one to as many as eight diseases each.Three disease groups of twenty types each have been classified at the end. It has been observed that the listing of groups by diseases has been done in a descending order - from those having eight diseases to one - because there are no other groups that have greater than eight types of diseases within them, except for the three groups with twenty types. Hence, these outliers (with twenty types) have been enumerated at the end rather than in the beginning of the chapter. Even though there are eighteen types of obstinate skin diseases, only the seven most obstinate ones have been enumerated here.

As mentioned above, various modes of classification have been used to classify diseases in the Samhita - some diseases have been classified only according to dosha involved, such as apasmara (epilepsy), akshi roga (eye diseases), mukha roga (diseases of oral cavity), pratishyaya (rhinitis) etc. In some cases, apart from dosha, certain etiological factors have also been considered and nomenclature has been done accordingly e.g. in case of unmada, pandu roga, hridroga, chhardi, shosha, vrana etc. Some diseases have been classified taking into consideration only prominent clinical features, such as in the case of kushtha, kilasa, arsha, jwara, and aayama. In some cases, nomenclature is based on the site involved in pathogenesis, as in rakta pitta, kamala etc, while in some cases, severity has been the basis for classification e.g. vatarakta. We also find groups containing sub-classes or sub-groups of diseases. This hierarchical basis has been used while classifying the three disease families mentioned that have twenty types of diseases. Krimi are first classified into bahya, raktaja, shleshmaja and purishaja which are sub-classified into other diseases. Similarly, twenty types of pramehas are broadly classified into three groups on the basis of dosha and then subtypes are mentioned. Yoni vyapada (gynecological disorders) are broadly classified into diseases caused by dosha and diseases caused by amalgamation of dosha and dushyas, with further sub-classifications. Thus, it can be said that classification has not been restricted to a single hierarchic pattern but a hierarchical system for disease classification as well. Still, the classification of all known diseases is not complete using the above mentioned system. Need-based or contextual re-classification of various disease groups can be found in many places within the Samhita.

This lack of standardization or disease classification or nomenclature does warrant a need to frame some standards that are unanimously acceptable across the world. In fact, the need for standardizing disease classifications has been strongly aired by experts and this body of classification has been given the name of Ayurvedic Classification of Diseases (ACD). Moreover, considering the importance of traditional medicine, the World Health Organization (WHO) is also incorporating Traditional Medicine (TM) in ICD-11. WHO recently completed a survey among member nations and discovered that 82% of the world's population uses some form of TM.[2] To bring all countries onto one platform for health management requires the inclusion of TM in ICD.

To make this happen, immense efforts are required to develop adequate nomenclature and classification for Ayurvedic diseases. However, there are practical challenges associated with correlating all these diseases mentioned in Ayurveda with modern disease families. For example, certain diseases or disorders such as kushtha, pandu, prameha, gulma, etc. may not have an equivalent in modern medicine. Some do have a direct correlation with those found or classified today, such as bhagandara, kamala, baddhodara, chidrodara, tamaka shwasa etc.

The relationship between the dosha and endogenous diseases can be explained using the following analogy mentioned in this text: just as no bird (under the Sun) can fly without casting a shadow, no endogenous disease (caused by the disturbance of the equilibrium of dhatu) can occur without the vitiation of vata, pitta and kapha. The exogenous diseases may or may not be caused due to a vitiated dosha but so far as their treatment is concerned, dosha need not be factored in. There is also a mention of exogenous and endogenous diseases coexisting together. Endogenous diseases are, at times, followed by the exogenous ones and vice-versa. While treating such conditions, one should start treatment on the basis of the secondary development and our understanding of the primary nature of the disease.

  • Twenty types of pramehas (urinary disorders characterized by abnormal and increased frequency of urine) include udakameha (polyuria), ikshuvalikarasameha (glycosuria), sandrameha, sandraprasadameha, shuklameha, shukrameha, shitameha, shanairmeha, sikatameha and lalameha (ten diseases caused by kapha). Ksharameha, kalameha, nilameha, lohitameha, manjisthameha and haridrameha are six types caused by pitta. Finally, vasameha, majjameha, hastimeha and madhumeha are four types caused by vata.
  • There are twenty types of yoni vyapadas (gynaecological disorders). Of these, vatika, paittika and kaphaja and sannipataja are produced by vata, pitta, kapha and a combination of all the three dosha (tridosha) respectively. The remaining sixteen are caused through various permutations and combinations of dosha, dushya and other causative factors. These are raktayoni (menorrhagia), arajaska (amenorroea), acharana (colpitis mycotica), aticharana (chronic vaginitis), prakcharana (deflorative vaginitis), upapluta (secondary dysmenorrhoea), paripluta (acute vaginitis), udavartini (primary dysmenorrhoea), karinini (endo-cervitis), putraghini (abortive tendency), antarmukhi (inversion of uterus), suchimukhi (colpo stenosis), sushka (culpo xerosis), vamini (profluvium seminis), sandhyayoni (undeveloped female sex organs/pseudo-uterus) and mahayoni (prolapse of the uterus). These are twenty types of gynaecological disorders. (9)

Definite relation between dosha and disease

All the endogenous diseases occur invariably due to the vitiation of vata, pitta and kapha. As a bird cannot infringe upon its own shadow even by flying throughout the day, in the same way all the diseases are produced by disturbances in equilibrium in dhatu and cannot occur without vitiation of vata, pitta and kapha. By examining location, sign and symptoms, causes of vitiation of vata, pitta and kapha in any condition, the intelligent physician diagnose all diseases. (5)

Endogenous and exogenous diseases

भवतश्चात्र- स्वधातुवैषम्यनिमित्तजा ये विकारसङ्घा बहवः शरीरे| न ते पृथक् पित्तकफानिलेभ्य आगन्तवस्त्वेव ततो विशिष्टाः||६||

bhavatashcAtra- svadhAtuvaiShamyanimittajA ye vikArasa~gghA bahavaH sharIre| na te pRuthak pittakaphAnilebhya Agantavastveva tato vishiShTAH||6||

Disturbance in equilibrium of dhatu results in number of diseases and these are only due to pitta, kapha and vata i.e. they cannot be produced without involvement of these three dosha. Exogenous diseases are exception to this. (6)

Progression of endogenous and exogenous diseases

Exogenous diseases may occur as secondary development after endogenous and similarly endogenous diseases may further progress as exogenous diseases. One should carefully analyze primary causes and secondary complications before starting treatment. (7)

Summing up the contents- this chapter on “Numerical classification of diseases with eight types of abdominal diseases” lists down three diseases having twenty variants each, three diseases having one each, eight diseases having two each, ten diseases having four each, twelve diseases having five each, four diseases having eight each, two diseases having six each, and three diseases having seven variants each. (8-9)

Tattva Vimarsha (Fundamental Principles)

  • Numerical classification of diseases is important in practice for differential diagnosis and planning treatment.
  • The diseases can be classified by dosha dominance, cardinal signs, clinical presentation, or location of dosha.
  • Dosha are inevitable factors associated with the pathogenesis of every disease. A disease cannot occur without disequilibrium in the dosha.
  • In due course of time, endogenous diseases make the patient vulnerable to exogenous diseases and vice versa.

Vidhi Vimarsha (Applied Inferences)

  • Classification of diseases, including abdominal ones, have been discussed in this chapter. Since diseases are innumerable, the classification is only restricted to diseases prevalent at that time. [Verse no. 1-2]
  • In this chapter, diseases have been classified according to sankhya samprapti (by the number of variants of the disease), vidhi samprapti (i.e., by features or symptoms of the disease). [Verse 3, 4(1)]
  • The common thing among these three diseases with seven varieties is that their manifestation site is skin but they vary in clinical features, severity, chronicity etc. Nomenclature of kushtha and pidaka is based mainly on clinical manifestation and visarpa subtypes have been mentioned according to dosha involved. [Verse no. 4(2)]
  • Diseases are classified into six types on the basis of their etiological factors involved. During classifying atisara both physical and mental factors are considered while classification of udavarta is based on suppression of six important natural urges. [Verse no. 4(3)]
  • In this verse 12 diseases have been mentioned which have 5 subtypes. If we analyze five subtypes of each disease we will find that in most of the cases four sub-types are vataja, pittaja,kaphaja and sannipataja. Fifth type varies in many of above mentioned diseases like in gulma and pliha dosha - raktaja, in chhardi- dwistarthsangyogaja, in bhaktasyanasana - dweshaja, in shiroroga and hridroga - krimija, in pandu – mridbhakshanaja and in unmada – agantuja. Any cause other than dosha remarkably changes pathogenesis of disease so keeping this fact in mind, last subtypes have been separately mentioned and named. For the same reason in kasa, in place of sannipataja, kshataja and kshayaja kasa and in trishna in place of kaphaja - aamaja, trishna have been mentioned. In shvasa division has been done on the basis of prominent symptoms and in hikka it is based on both symptoms and causative factors. [Verse no. 4(4)]
  • In eight out of set of ten diseases mentioned, classification into subtypes has been based on involvement of soshas. Sosha and klaibya pathogenesis and treatment varies with cause of the disease so they are classified on the basis of causative agent involved. [Verse no. 4(5)]
  • The basis of classification is different in all the three above mentioned diseases. The shotha subtypes are classified on the basis of dosha, in kilasa it is based on clinical features and in lohitapitta it is classified on the basis of site of manifestation. [Verse no. 4(6)]
  • Diseases are classified into two types based on etiology, clinical features, severity etc. mainly aimed to properly understand pathogenesis as well as to plan treatment. [Verse no. 4(7)]
  • Diseases with no subtypes have been mentioned. The above set includes possible variation of physical and mental causes. Urustambha occurs due to three [dosha]] and ama, sanyasa is psycho-somatic in nature and in mahagada there is involvement of mental entities only. [Verse no. 4(8)]
  • While describing diseases with large number of subtypes separate way of classification was used. All the mentioned diseases are first broadly classified in a group and then sub-types are mentioned. Krimi are first classified into bahya, raktaja, shleshmaja and purishaja and then among these four groups twenty types of krimi have been mentioned.[Cha.Sa.Vimana Sthana7] Twenty types of prameha are broadly classified in three groups on basis of dosha and then subtypes are mentioned, Similarly, yoni vyapada are broadly classified as diseases due to dosha and diseases due to amalgamation of dosha and dushyas and under second category 16 types of diseases have been mentioned. [Verse no. 4(9)]
  • Importance of dosha in disease production has been mentioned. Equilibrium of dosha is important aspect of swasthya or health and if doshas are vitiated they will lead to disease formation. Three important factors by which one can diagnose disease have been mentioned in the above verse. [Verse no. 5]
  • It has been emphasized that there is separate category of disease (agantuja vyadhi) in which involvement of doshas may not be necessary. [Verse no. 6]
  • It has been clarified that exogenous and endogenous diseases can coexist and at times endogenous diseases are followed by the exogenous ones and even the exogenous ones are followed by the endogenous one. So, while treating such type of conditions secondary development and the primary nature of the disease should be properly analyzed. [Verse no.7]
  • With the advancement of scientific knowledge and technology mode of disease classification has changed a lot but the basic principles remain the same. At present, disease classification is based upon etiology, pathogenesis, clinical features etc. So, basis remains the same but due to enhancement in knowledge nomenclature has changed. [Verse no.3]

Udara roga

Cardinal feature of udara roga is swelling in abdomen so all diseases having presentation with abdominal swelling/distension can be taken under common term udara roga. In general diseases of stomach and bowel can be included in it. [1][Madhukosh on M.Ni.35/1] [Cha.Sa.[[Sutra Sthana 18/31] So, udara rogas described in Ayurveda can be correlated with different intra-abdominal conditions in which abdominal swelling/distension is the prime feature eg. abdominal tumours, hepato/splenomegaly, intestinal obstruction, perforation, ascites etc. Subtypes of udara roga are named and described on the cause of swelling/distension. First four types are named after dosha involved. Description of pleehodara in Chikitsa Sthana closely resembles with spleen enlargement. Pliha refers to spleen so all conditions with predominant splenomegaly which cause visible abdominal swelling/distension can be taken by the term pleehodara. Baddha means obstruction, and so obstructive conditions leading to abdominal swelling/distension can be clubbed as baddhodara. Cause and symptoms closely resembles with that of intestinal obstruction so intestinal obstruction could be the possible modern correlate. Chhidra refers to cavity or hole. In description of chhidrodara it is clearly mentioned that intestine is injured which leads to exudation of material from intestine to abdominal cavity from the injured site. This condition closely resembles intestinal perforation. Udaka literally refers to water. Udakodara or jalodara is a condition in which fluid is accumulated in intestine. Based on resemblance in clinical features it can be correlated with ascites.

Mutraghata

In mutraghata main symptom is either oliguria or enuria due to suppression of urine formation and obstructive uropathy.Vijayarakshita has mentioned difference between mutrakrichra and mutraghata. In mutrakrichra there is painful and frequent micturition [2] so it can be correlated with dysuria as in urinary tract infection. All conditions in which urinary output is low or absent can be interpreted as mutraghata.[ Ma.Ni.31/1] [Dalhana on Su.Sa.Uttara Tantra 58/1][3], [Chakrapani on Cha.Sa.Chikitsa Sthana 26/43-44]

Four types of mutraghata are classified according to dosha [4]:

  • Ashmarija mutraghata (Ashmari means stone) can be taken as obstruction of urine due to urolithiasis.
  • In the same way based on the nomenclature sharkaraja mutraghata can be taken as condition with gravels in urinary tract,
  • shukraja mutraghata as obstruction due to spermolith and
  • shonitaja refers to blood clot and so it can be taken as hematuria due to tuberculosis, tumor, thrombosis, stone and trauma.

Ksheera dosha

Ksheera literally means milk, and ksheera dosha means disorders in which breast milk is vitiated. Eight types of ksheera dosha (pathological lactation) are mentioned according to change in physical characteristics of breast milk like color, smell, consistency etc.

Reto dosha

Retas refers to sperm [5] so various clinical conditions in which sperm is vitiated can be denoted as common term reto dosha (Sperm disorders) such as oligospermia, azoospermia and sperm dyskynesia. Sub classification of reto dosha has been done on any alteration in physical characteristic of retas with impaired spermatogenesis and impaired sperm emission. [Verse no. 4(1)]

Kushtha

The disease in which discoloration or disfigurement of skin occurs comes under kushtha. Various dermatological disorders including leprosy are included under kushtha.[A.H.Nidana Sthana 14/34][6]

Pidaka

Pidaka refers to conditions like boil and abscess. [7] These are the inflammatory swelling affecting diabetic or non diabetic immune compromised persons.

Visarpa

Visarpa word literally refers to spreading, moving or gliding property. [8] It is acute disease which spreads quickly, so all acute inflammatory conditions like erysipelas, herpes, erythema multiforme and acute lymphadenitis can be called visarpa.[Cha.Sa.Chikitsa Sthana 21/11], [Chakrapani on Cha.Sa.Chikitsa Sthana 21/11], [Dalhana on Su.Sa.Nidana Sthana 10/3][3], [Madhukosha Teeka on M.Ni.52/1]

It can be said that kushtha covers almost all dermatological disorders whereas pidakas are inflammatory swelling which occurs as complications of prameha but can occur in other conditions also. Visarpa is relatively serious condition and can be taken as acute spreading inflammatory skin conditions. [Verse no. 4(2)]

Atisara

All diarrheal diseases including acute, chronic, psychogenic, drug and diet induced, inflammatory and non-inflammatory diseases.

Udavarta

Udavarta word refers to excretion [9] and is caused by suppression of natural urges due to which path of vata is obstructed resulting in hampering of normal functioning and movement of vata. [Madhukosha Teeka on M.Ni. 27/1] Conditions characterized by retention of feces, urine and flatus, associated with pain and leading to or caused by anti-peristaltic movements in the body.

Gulma

Gulma is a condition in which there is palpable mobile or immobile lump in abdomen, in shape and constantly increasing and decreasing in size. So, gulma can be taken as any abdominal lump which can be palpated. [ Cha.Sa.Nidana Sthana 3/7], [Cha.Sa.Chikitsa Sthana 5/7]

Kasa

Kasa refers to a condition in which air is expelled from the lungs with a sudden explosive sound of cough. [10] Kasa includes all pathological conditions in which coughing is cardinal feature. [Cha.Sa.Chikitsa Sthana 18/8], [Su.Sa.Uttara Tantra.52/5][3]

Shvasa

Shvasa word implies respiration. Shvasa vyadhi refers to pathological conditions in which there is difficulty in breathing. [11] Shvasa is a condition in which person breathes rapidly like a leather bag which inflates and deflates with speed. Shvasa refers to impaired cardiorespiratory function including systemic causes. [Madhukosha Teeka on M. Ni. 12.15]

Hikka

Hikka is a disease in which hik hik sound is produced. It can be correlated with hiccup [12] and its pathological variation mentioned in Ayurvedic texts ranges from mild to severe life threatening conditions. [Su.Sa.Uttara tantra 50/6][3], [Madhukosha on Ma.Ni. 12/3]

Trishna

Trishna literally means thirst, a clinical entity in which patient suffers from excessive thirst not satisfied even after excessive water intake. [A.H.Uttara Sthana 48/3][6]

Chhardi

In chhardi (vomiting), food and dosha are forcefully expelled out through mouth.

Arochaka

Arochaka refers to a clinical condition in which person has loss of taste, appetite and aversion to food. [13]

Shiroroga and Hridroga

Shira is head and hridaya is heart.Thus, Shiroroga are diseases of head and related structures [14] while hridroga are cardiovascular diseases [15]

Pandu

Pandu is pallor of skin[16] and mucosa and is consistent with anemia.

Unmada

Unmada is a syndrome with multiple manifestations and heterogeneous causes, including psychosis and mood disorders. It is characterized by perturbation / confusion (vibhrama) of mind (manas), intellect (buddhi), consciousness (sangyaa), knowledge (jnana), memory (smriti), desire (bhakti), manner (sheela), behaviour (cheshta), conduct (aachaara). This is cardinal sign of unmada.

Apasmara

Apasmara is a clinical condition with impaired memory, intellect and cognition, characterized by seizures and impaired consciousness, resembling epilepsy.

Akshi roga, karna roga and mukha roga

Akshi Roga refers to ophthalmic disorders, karna roga to diseases of ear [17] and mukha roga as disorders of mouth.

Grahani

Grahani is a group of diseases involving small intestine as in irritable bowel syndrome, inflammatory bowel diseases and all types of disorders of digestion and absorption.

Mada/Murchha

Mada is acute state of confusion and delirium and murchcha is deep loss of consciousness (syncope).

Shosha

Shosha refers to phthisis, a progressive wasting or consumptive condition such as tuberculosis. It generally refers to depletion of dhatu and hence strength.

Mahagada: Atattvabhinivesha is said to be Mahagada. It is a psychological disorder such as hypochondriasis and paranoia. [ Cha.Sa.Chikitsa Sthana 10/60] [Verse no. 4(8)]

Krimi Roga: Krimi refers to various parasitic infestation.

Prameha: Prameha is passage of excessive and turbid urine from many causes.

Yoni Vyapada: Yoni Vyapada refers to different conditions afflicting female genitals. [22] Broadly it refers to various gynecological disorders. [Verse no. 4(9)]

Exogenous causes are important cause of morbidity and mortality and so they are included in international classification of diseases. In separate chapter injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes & external causes of morbidity and mortality have been mentioned in ICD-10. Exogenous causes were given importance in ancient times also and so their role in disease diagnosis and treatment has been emphasized in above verse.
