<div style="text-align:justify;">

<p style="text-align:justify;">The chapter deals with complications due to improper administration of purification therapies ''[[vamana]]'' (therapeutic emesis) and ''[[virechana]]''( therapeutic purgation). Adequate dosage according to ''agni''(digestion power) and ''koshtha'' (bowel habit), proper quality of medicine, time of administration, follow up diet regimens are important to prevent complications. Observation of status of patient during purification therapy with the signs of proper, inadequate, excess elimination, causes and management of complications are described in detail in this chapter. The ten common complications like ''aadhmana'' (distension of abdomen), ''parikartika'' (fissure in ano), ''srava'' (excess discharge), ''hrid-graha'' (congestion in cardiac region), ''gatra-graha'' (body stiffness), ''jeevaadana'' (bleeding), ''vibhramsha'' (prolapse of rectum), ''stambha'' (body stiffness), ''upadrava'' (complications) and ''klama'' (fatigue without exertion) are elaborated. The causes behind this include incompetency either of the attendant, or drug, or physician or the patient.

=== Similes for action of ''[[virechana]]'' ===

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 ''[[mala]]s'' 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)
