After the description of grahaṇī doṣha, the chapter on pāndu roga is given, as the causative factors of pāndu roga are quite similar to that of grahaṇī doṣha. Probably it is because that the various gastrointestinal problems can also lead to development of pāndu roga. The chapter deals with general discoloration of the body such as pallor, yellowish, greenish and whitish discoloration which is seen in skin, eyes, lips, face, nails, urine feces etc.  

After the description of ''grahani dosha'', the chapter on ''pandu roga'' is given, as the causative factors of ''pandu roga'' are quite similar to that of ''grahani dosha''. Probably it is because that the various gastrointestinal problems can also lead to development of ''pandu roga''. The chapter deals with general discoloration of the body such as pallor, yellowish, greenish and whitish discoloration which is seen in skin, eyes, lips, face, nails, urine feces etc.  

Kāmala (jaundice) and halīmaka (severe obstructive jaundice) have also been included in this chapter as they are also characterized by the discoloration and may relate to pāndu roga. Kamla is of two types, swatantra (primay) and partantra (secondary). The etiological factors of primay kamla are described later. Secondary kamla develops in chronic phase of pandu in which vitiated pitta is seated in rasa dhatu and in kamla, pitta goes deeper in rakta dhatu and continues to go deeper in mans and medha dhatu, then it is called halimaka and kumbha kamla respectively. Kamla is of two types in repect to location, shakhshrit kamla located in body tissues in the form of obstructed pitta and koshthashrit kamla, localized to gut and can be easily removed by purgation while shakhashritkamla needs to be brought to gut for removal.
