Agnivesha , an intelligent disciple,  asked his doubt with modest salute of folded hands to Lord Atreya, who has the knowledge about the subject and principles of the Vedas “The diseases are categorized under two categories (''samanyaja'' and ''nanatmaja'') of three ''dosha'' (''vata, pitta'' and ''kapha'') aggravated due to three factors (like unwholesome utilization of sense organs (''asatmendriyartha samyoga''), intellectual errors (''pajnaparadha'') and advent of maturity of time (''parinama'')). Which among these diseases is most difficult to cure?” [3-4]

But none of the diseases is as lethal as shwasa and hikka as they can cause immediate death. The person suffering from any other disease can also get eventually  afflicted with enormously painful hikka and shwasa at the time of death.”(3-7)
