''Samyak'' is the word used to indicate appropriate/ optimum action in many contexts. Any ''kriyakrama'' is performed for its appropriate outcome as desired by the physician. The ''shloka'' here reveals the four important limbs of it, which are equally important. The first being the proper preparation of the patient in the form of ''sneha sweda'', the second being the physiological status of the patient with respect to ''ahaara,'' only then can the agni do its duty. So the medicine has to be given after the ''ahaara'' is digested. The third being the importance of ''maatra'' which is previously well explained in [[Trividhakukshiya Vimana]]. There, the Acharya lays importance to the appropriate ''maatra'' of ''ahaara''. Here Acharya, gives importance to the appropriate ''maatra'' of ''aushadha''. Only the desired dosage is acted upon by ''agni'' to create the optimum response in the body.

We can see the use of similes at various contexts in Ayurvedic classics. It not only gives the reader a clear idea behind the concept, but it also reveal observational talent of Ayurvedic seers to relate external world (macrocosm) with the internal world (microcosm), principles acting inside the body are similar to that act outside and vice versa. The simile of pot smeared with oil to oleated body and water that can be taken out linked to ''shodhana'' therapy explain the action to its fullest. Similarly, the ''malas'' removed from the body by ''shodhana'' similar to the dirt adhered to the cloth by rinsing in water also explains the mechanism of action in the most understandable way. (Verses 11-13)

Each formulation has its own ''guna'' with respect to its contents. Even though the drug has its ''guna'', the outcome of the ''kriyakrama'' in the patient will also depend on the physiological and the environmental factors too. However, an ideal drug and its ideal dosage in a particular clinical condition, in a particular patient can only be assessed only after the continuous practice and experience of the physician. The same medicine may have different outcome in different patients. Hence, an ideal drug even though is important, more important is fixing the dosage appropriately considering all other factors.(Verses 15-16)

However, after both the procedure, if done properly, will make the patient feel light, fatigued and emaciated which indicates the expulsion or mitigation of ''kapha'' and ''pitta'' and increase of ''vata'' as expected after any ''shodhana'' therapy.

The ten ''vyapat adhmana, parikatika, parisraava, hrdayopasarana, anga graham, jeevaadaana, vibhramsha, sthambha, upadrava'' and ''klama'' are explained in a systematic manner. Each ''vyapat'' represent a cluster of signs and symptoms. However, every context begins with explaining the possible causative factors for the happening. On analyzing the various causes told for ''vyapat'', we can see the ''doshic'' status, the general quality of the ''sharira'' and the ''koshtha'', the status of ''agni'', the physiological state of the individual-all plays an important role. The treatments mentioned are also grouped. The physician may not see all the signs and symptoms for each as told in the text, but can infer from some of the presentation. It becomes the responsibility of the intelligent physician to select the appropriate ''karma'' for the treatment of the complication presented. The presentation of ''vyapat'' itself reveals the clinical skill of Charak to observe the minute presentation in the body. Each complication is self-explanatory as mentioned in the text. However, in the present day practice, how much a modern day [[Ayurveda]] physician encounters these complications is an issue to be discussed about. Whether the lack of quality of the ''shodhana'' performed, change in practical standards, problem at all four levels of the ''chatushpada'' could be the cause.(Verse 58-90)
