− | Because of dryness property, [[vayu]] gets aggravated; due to hot property, [[pitta]] gets vitiated; subtleness leads to vitiation of [[rakta]]; Due to ''avyakta rasa'' (indistinct taste), [[kapha]] is vitiated; due to rapidly acting, it quickly permeates through the nutrient fluid; vyavayi [[guna]] spreads it throughout the body instantaneously. Tikshna [[guna]] (sharply acting) property causes injury to marmas, vikashi [[guna]] results in death of the patient. Due to laghu [[guna]] it becomes difficult to manage therapeutically; because of vaishadya [[guna]], it pervades all over the body with [[dosha]] without any obstruction in circulation. Depending upon the location of [[dosha]] and [[prakriti]] of patient, ''visha'' produces several other complications.
