<big>''' Abstract </big>'''
 +
<p style="text-align:justify;">This chapter describes recipes of ''prasritayogiya bastis'' (enema formulation in which ingredients are measured in unit of ''prasrita''). ''Prasrita'' is a measurement, which is approximately equal to 100 millilitre.  Nine types of ''[[basti]]'' therapies for various clinical conditions including ''prameha'' (urinary disorders including diabetes), ''abhishyanda'' (oozing), ''kushtha'' (skin diseases), ''krimi'' (worm infestation), ''mutrakrichchra'' (dysuria) and alike are described. ''Atisara'', a clinical condition characterized by frequent defecation with altered composition and consistency of stool is described in detail. ''Atisara'' has various forms depending upon involvement of six morbid components in the pathogenesis viz. ''ama'' (stool with undigested material), ''shakrita'' (stool only), ''[[vata]]'' (with dominant flatulence), ''asrik'' (stool with blood), ''[[pitta]]'' and ''[[kapha]]''. Different recipes of ''[[basti]]'', oral medicaments and food preparations are described to treat these ''atisara'' conditions. These remedies are practically quite useful in several modern diseases like ulcerative colitis and irritable bowel syndrome.

There are two main types of ''[[basti]]'' according to the composition and the action. ''Anuvasana basti'' is composed of unctuous substance and it is to be retained for minimum nine hours. ''Asthapana basti'' contains mainly decoction with least oil and is evacuated after few minutes. ''[[Basti]]'' is administered through ano-rectal route and acting through the ''pakvashaya'' (colon). It is useful in several diseases particularly [[vata]] disorders having roots in ''pakvashaya''. It is claimed to be half a treatment or even a complete treatment by ancient practitioners<ref>Charak.

This chapter describes recipes of ''prasritayogiya bastis'' (enema formulation in which ingredients are measured in unit of ''prasrita''). ''Prasrita'' is a measurement, which is approximately equal to 100 milliliter.  Nine types of ''basti'' therapies for various clinical conditions including ''prameha'' (urinary disorders including diabetes), ''abhishyanda'' (oozing), ''kushtha'' (skin diseases), ''krimi'' (worm infestation), ''mutrakrichchra'' (dysuria) and alike are described. ''Atisara'', a clinical condition characterized by frequent defecation with altered composition and consistency of stool is described in detail. ''Atisara'' has various forms depending upon involvement of six morbid components in the pathogenesis viz. ''ama'' (stool with undigested material), ''shakrita'' (stool only), ''vata'' (with dominant flatulence), ''asrik'' (stool with blood), ''pitta'' and ''kapha''. Different recipes of ''basti'', oral medicaments and food preparations are described to treat these ''atisara'' conditions. These remedies are practically quite useful in several modern diseases like ulcerative colitis and irritable bowel syndrome.

Previous chapter ([[Bastivyapat Siddhi]]) deals with the ''vyapat'' (complications) arising due to faulty application of ''[[basti]]s''. Present chapter begins with the treatment of those patients who developed complications as a result of faulty application of therapies (''karmana viplutanam'') and for the tender persons who are not able to tolerate strong measures. For this purpose, chapter describes mild form of ''niruha bastis''. The ingredients of these ''[[basti]]s'' are measured in the unit of ''prasrita''. Therefore the name of the chapter is [[Prasrita Yogiyam Siddhi]]. The unit ''prasrita'' is equal to two ''palas'', which is approximately equal to 100 milliliter (1 ''pala''= approx. 50 ml).<ref>Chakrapani, Charak. Siddhi Sthana, Cha.8 Bastivyapad Siddhi ver.04.

Note: The quantity of kalka of sarṣapa is not mentioned in the above recipe. According to commentary of Cakrapāṇi on this verse, it may be decided. [ ] In the nirūha basti with an amount of twelve prasṛtas, the amount of kalka is usually two palas (about100gms).  In present recipe, the amount is five prasṛtas and therefore the amount of kalka of sarṣapa would be about 40 gms. This principle is applicable in latter recipes also where the amount of kalka is not mentioned.

Thus in the treatise (originally) prepared by Agnivesha, edited by Charak and supplemented the lost parts by Dridhabala, in [[Siddhi Sthana]], the eighth chapter entitled [[Prasrita Yogiyam Siddhi]] is concluded.
 +
 +
== Tattva Vimarsha (Fundamental Principles) ==
 +
 +
*A milder form of ''[[basti]]'' can get stagnated inside leading to complications of not eliminating ''[[dosha]]s''. This may result into ''ayoga'' or ''heenayoga'' (insufficient action). On the contrary if a ''[[basti]]'' is stronger it may cause an ''atiyoga'' (action in excess) causing excessive evacuation of ''[[dosha]]'' along with body constituents.
 +
*Faulty application of ''[[basti]]s'' may cause a complication in the form of ''atisara'' (diarrhea).
 +
*''Atisara'' (diarrhea) may be either acute with undigested material associated with ''ama'' or chronic without much undigested material/ ''pakwa''.
 +
*''Pakwa'' type of ''atisara'' is again of five types as with ''shakrita'' (fecal matter), with ''[[vata]]'' (flatus), with ''asrika'' (blood), with ''[[pitta]]'' and with ''[[kapha]]''.
 +
*Basic principle of treatment of every condition associated with ''ama'' is ''amapachana''. Decoction / powder of ''musta, ativisha, kushtha, nata, daru'' and ''vacha'' are ideal for ''amapachana''. This recipe is useful in ''amatisara''.
 +
*To manage ''pakvatisara'', medicines of two categories viz. ''vataghna'' (anti-''vata'') and ''grahi'' (anti-diarrheal by promoting digestion and absorption) are used.
 +
*''Picchabasti'' and ''raktabasti'' are treatments for diarrhea with blood.These can be considered as ''[[stambhana]]'' (stop bleeding) and ''vishesha [[brimhana]]'' (enhance internal strength).
 +
*The treatment principles of various types of ''atisara'' due to complications of ''[[basti]]'' therapy:
 +
**''[[Vata]]'': ''snigdha'' (unctuous), ''amla'' (sour), ''lavana'' (salty) and ''madhura'' (sweet) liquids orally and warm ''[[basti]]s'' with same substances.
 +
**''[[Pitta]]'' and ''[[rakta]]'': cold bitter astringent and sweet substances.
 +
**''[[Kapha]]'': bitter, hot, astringent and pungent substances.
 +
**''Shakrita'' (stool): ''sangrahi'' (checks ''atisara'' through improving the digestion) and ''vataghna'' (measures)
 +
**''Ama: [[pachana]]'' (measures digesting ''ama'')
 +
**''[[Rakta]]: picchabasti'' and ''raktabasti''.
 +
 +
== Vidhi Vimarsha (Applied Inferences ) ==
 +
 +
The unit ''prasrita'', according to [[Charak Samhita]] is an amount of two ''palas'' which is approximately equal to 100 milliliter (1''pala''=50ml).<ref>Chakrapani, Charak. Sidhi Sthana, Cha.8 Prasrita Yogiyam Siddhi ver.4. In: Jadavaji Trikamji Aacharya, Editor. Charak Samhita.4th ed. New Delhi: Munshiram Manoharlal publishers pvt. Ltd; 4th edition 1981; P 713.</ref>,<ref>Agnihotri Avadhabihari; Bhaiṣajyakalpanā Vijñāna; Chaukhamba orientalia publication, 6th edition, 2006, P 7-20.</ref> (verse 1-2)[[Charak Samhita]] is written in the form of dialogue between the teacher (Atreya) and his disciples (mainly Agnivesha). Mild form of ''[[shodhana]]'' measures are for those subjects who are not suitable for strong measures and for the patients who suffered with the complications of the measures described in previous chapters. ''[[Vamana]]'' and ''[[virechana]]'' are major procedures for ''[[shodhana]]''. However, these are contraindicated for the tender persons. Tender persons may not tolerate even ''[[basti]]''. Therefore, mild forms of ''[[basti]]s'' are described for them. Similarly, the measures to treat the complications developed due to the faulty application of the procedures especially the ''[[basti]]''.
 +
 +
Some translators interpreted the phrase ''karmana viplutanama'' as ‘exhausted of hard work’.<ref> Charak. Sidhi Sthana, Cha.8 Prasrita Yogiyam Siddhi ver.3. In: Dash Bhagavan & Sharma R K, Editor. Charak Samhita.2nd ed. Varanasi: Chowkhamba Sanskrit Series, 2005; P 310</ref>
 +
However, the meaning of this phrase can be taken as ‘complicated by the consequences of the therapies’, which seems to be more appropriate in this context. The complications may be natural consequences of the therapies or may be due to faulty application. (verse 3)
 +
 +
The recipe in verse 4 is composed of total five ''prasritas'' (2 ''prasritas'' of milk, 1 ''prasrita'' each of honey, sesame oil and ''ghrita''), therefore this ''[[basti]]'' is named by Gangadhara as ''panchaprasrtika basti''.<ref>Gangadhara, Charak. Sidhi Sthana, Cha.8 Prasrita Yogiyam Sidhi Adhyaya . In: Kaviraj shree Narendranath sen Gupta, and kaviraj shree Balaichandra sen Gupta, Editors. Charak Samhita.? ed. New Delhi;Rastriya Samskrita Samsthana, 2002; P 3735.</ref> This ''[[basti]]'' is useful for eliminating ''[[vata]]'' as well as promoting the strength and the complexion.
 +
 +
''[[Vata]]'' eliminating measures usually promotes quality of ''[[dhatu]]s'' and ''upadhatus'' (structural components of the body). This eventually results in promotion of the body strength and the complexion. Word ''bala'' also denotes the immune function; hence this may also be interpreted as promoting immune activity. In ancient time to mix a ''[[basti]]'' material, churning stick was used. In modern time an electric blender is an ideal alternative. With a blender the mixture is better homogenized than a manual churning stick.

Chakrapani considered ''bilvadi'' group in his [[Ayurveda]] ''deepika'' commentary as ''dashamula''.<ref>Chakrapani, Charak. Sidhi Sthana, Cha.8 Prasrita Yogiyam Siddhi ver.5. In: Jadavaji Trikamji Aacharya, Editor. Charak Samhita.4th ed. New Delhi: Munshiram Manoharlal publishers pvt. Ltd; 4th edition 1981; P 713.</ref> This group consists of roots of ten plants viz. ''bilva'' (Aegle marmelos Carr.), ''shyonaka'' (Oroxylum indicumVent.),''gambhari'' (Gmelina arborea Roxb.), ''patala'' (Stereospermum suaveolensDC.),''agnimantha'' (Premna integrifolia Roxb.), ''shalaparni'' (Desmodium gangeticumDC.), ''prishniparni'' (Uraria picta Desr.)

While Gangadhara in his ''Jalpakalpataru'' commentary mentions this as ''panchamula'' –the roots of a group of five plants viz. ''bilva,shyonaka, gambhari, patala'' and ''agnimantha.''<ref>Gangadhara, Charak. Sidhi Sthana, Cha.8 Prasrita Yogiyam Sidhi Adhyaya.Verse 5 In: Kaviraj shree Narendranath sen Gupta, and kaviraj shree Balaichandra sen Gupta, Editors. Charak Samhita.? ed. New Delhi;Rastriya Samskrita Samsthana, 2002; P 3735.</ref>Since next verse (5th) describes a recipe with ''panchamula'', in this verse considering ''bilvadi'' as ''dashamula'' is more logical and practical. This ''[[basti]]'' consists a total of eight ''prasritas'' (one ''prasrita'' each of ''taila, prasanna, madhu'' and ''ghrita'' and two ''prasritas'' each of ''bilvadi'' decoction and ''kulattha'' decoction). Therefore, Gangadhara names this as ''ashtaprasritika [[basti]]''.<ref>Gangadhara, Charak. Sidhi Sthana, Cha.8 Prasrita Yogiyam Sidhi Adhyaya .

The ''[[basti]]'' in verse six, consists of total nine ''prasritas'' i.e. ''panchamula'' decoction- five ''prasritas'', sesame oil - two ''prasritas'', honey- one ''prasrita, ghrita''- one ''prasrita''. Therefore, Gangadhara names this as ''navaprasritika [[basti]]''.<ref>Gangadhara, Charak. Sidhi Sthana, Cha.8 Prasrita Yogiyam Sidhi Adhyaya . In: Kaviraj shree Narendranath sen Gupta, and kaviraj shree Balaichandra sen Gupta, Editors. Charak Samhita.? ed. New Delhi;Rastriya Samskrita Samsthana, 2002; P 3736.</ref> (verses 4-6)

''Aksha'' and ''karsha'' are the units of same amount, which is equal to about twelve grams. Hence the amount of rock salt in this [[basti]] would be about 6 grams. ''[[Shukra]]'' is one of the seven ''[[dhatu]]s'' (structural components). ''[[Shukra]]'' is not a single entity. It comprises male reproductive cells and substances including the androgenic hormones responsible for manhood in a man. This ''[[basti]]'' promotes quality and quantity of all these entities in the body.

Thus in the treatise (originally) prepared by Agnivēśa, edited by Charaka  and supplemented the lost parts by Dṛḍhabala, in its siddhisthāna section, the eighth chapter entitled prāsṛtayōgīyā siddhi is concluded.

The usual contents of a ''niruha [[basti]]'' are salt, honey, oil'', kalka'' and decoction (or a liquid). These are to be mixed by churning in the sequence as mentioned above. Here the mixing may be in this sequence- ''saindhava'', honey, oil, ''ghrita, hapusha'' (fruits of Juniperus communis Linn.)and milk.(verse 7)

''[[Basti]]'' is usually contraindicated in ''kushtha''<ref>Charak. Sidhi Sthana, Cha.2 Panchakamiya Siddhi ver.14. In: Jadavaji Trikamji Aacharya, Editor. Charak Samhita.4th ed. New Delhi: Munshiram Manoharlal publishers pvt. Ltd; 4th edition 1981; P 688.</ref>. However, Sushruta Samhita recommends ''niruhabastis'' in this condition.<ref>Sushruta. Chikitsa Sthana, Cha.35  Netrabastipramana pravibhaga Chikitsitam Adhyaya verse 22. In: Jadavaji Trikamji Aacharya and Narayana Ram Acharya, Editors. Sushruta Samhita. 4th ed. Varanasi: Chaukhambha Orientalia;1980, P 527.</ref> Practically ''niruha [[basti]]'', with bitter substances e.g. ''panchatikta niruha'', is useful in ''kushtha''.
• A milder form of basti can get stagnated inside leading to complications of not eliminating doshas. This may result into ayoga or hīnayoga (insufficient action). On the contrary if a basti is stronger it may cause an atiyoga (action in excess) causing excessive evacuation of dosha along with body constituents.
  −
• Faulty application of bastis may cause a complication in the form of atisāra (diarrhea).
  −
• Atisāra (diarrhea) may be either acute with undigested material associated with āma  or chronic without much undigested material/ pakwa.
  −
• Pakwa type of Atisara is again of 5 types as with shakrit (fecal matter), with vata (flatus), with asrik (blood), with pitta  and with kapha.  
  −
• Basic principle of treatment of every condition associated with āma is āmapāchana. Decoction / powder of mustā, ativiṣā, kuṣṭha, nata, dāru and vacā are ideal for amapachana. This recipe is useful in āmātisāra.  
  −
• To manage pakvātisāra, medicines of two categories viz. vātaghna (anti-vāta) and grāhī (antidiarrheal by promoting digestion and absorption) are used.  
  −
• Picchabasti and raktabasti are treatments for diarrhea with blood.These can be considered as stambhana (stop bleeding) and vishesha brimhana (enhance internal strength).  
  −
• The treatment principles of various types of atisara due to complications of basti therapy:
  −
o Vāta: snigdha (unctuous) amla (sour) lavaṇa (salty) and madhura (sweet) liquids orally and warm bastis with same substances.  
  −
o Pitta and rakta: cold bitter astringent and sweet subsances.
  −
o Kapha: bitter, hot, astringent and pungent subsances.
  −
o Śakṛt (stool): saṅgrāhi (checks atisāra through improving the digestion) and vātaghna  (measures)
  −
o Āma: pāchana (measures digesting āma)
  −
o Rakta:  picchābasti and raktabasti.

The quantity of ''kalka'' of ''sarshapa'' is not mentioned in the above recipe. According to commentary of Chakrapani on this verse, it may be decided. <ref>Chakrapani, Charak. Sidhi Sthana, Cha.8 Prasrita Yogiyam Siddhi ver.8-9. In: Jadavaji Trikamji Aacharya, Editor. Charak Samhita.4th ed. New Delhi: Munshiram Manoharlal publishers pvt. Ltd; 4th edition 1981; P 713.</ref> In the ''niruha bastis'' with an amount of twelve ''prasritas'', the amount of ''kalka'' is usually two ''palas'' (about 100gms). In present recipe, the amount is five ''prasritas'' and therefore the amount of ''kalka'' of ''sarshapa'' would be about 40 gms. This principle is applicable in latter recipes also where the amount of ''kalka'' is not mentioned.

Vidhi vimarsha:
+
This ''[[basti]]'' contains ''vidanga'' (Embelia ribes Burm.) which is the best among ''krimighna''(anti-parasitic) [Cha. Sa. [[Sutra Sthana]] 25/40] substances. Therefore, it has a ''kriminashana'' effect. (verse 9-10)
The unit prasṛta, according to caraka saṁhitā is an amount of two palas which is approximately equal to 100 milliliter (1pala=50ml).[ ] ,[ ] (verse 1-2)Carakasamhitā is written in the form of dialogue between the teacher (Ātreya) and his disciples (mainly Agniveśa). Mild form of shodhana measures are for those subjects who are not suitable for strong measures and for the patients who suffered with the complications of the measures described in previous chapters. Vamana and virechana are major procedures for shodhana. However, these are contraindicated for the tender persons. Tender persons may not tolerate even basti. Therefore, mild forms of bastis are described for them. Similarly, the measures to treat the complications developed due to the faulty application of the procedures especially the basti.
  −
Some translators interpreted the phrase ‘karmaṇā viplutānāṁ’ as ‘exhausted of hard work’.[ ] However, the meaning of this phrase can be taken as ‘complicated by the consequences of the therapies’, which seems to be more appropriate in this context.  The complications may be natural consequences of the therapies or may be due to faulty application. (verse 3)
     −
The recipe in verse 4 is composed of total five prasṛtas (2 prasṛtas of milk, 1 prasṛta each of honey, sesame oil and ghṛta), therefore this basti is named by Gaṅgādhara as pāñcaprāsṛtika basti.[ ] This basti is useful for eliminating vāta as well as promoting the strength and the complexion.
+
Gangadhara in his ''Jalpakalpataru'' commentary considers ''payasyas ksheerakakoli'', which is Fritillaria roylei Hook. Some scholars consider ''payasyaas vidari'', but at present, ''vidari'' recipies already include one ingredient therefore to consider it ''ksheerakakoli'' is appropriate.
Vāta eliminating mesures usually promotes quality of dhātus and upadhātus (structural components of the body). This eventually results in promotion of the body strength and the complexion. Word ‘bala’ also denotes the immune function; hence this may also be interpreted as promoting immune activity. In ancient time to mix a basti material, churning stick was used. In modern time an electric blender is an ideal alternative. With a blender the mixture is better homogenized than a manual churning stick.

Cakrapāṇi considered bilvādi group in his Āyurveda dīpikā commentary as daśamula.[ ]This group consists of roots of ten plants viz. bilva (Aegle marmelos Carr.), śyonāka (Oroxylum indicumVent.),gambhārī (Gmelina arborea Roxb.), pāṭalā (Stereospermum suaveolensDC.),agnimantha (Premna integrifolia Roxb.), śālaparṇī (Desmodium gangeticumDC.), pṛśniparṇī (Uraria picta Desr.) bṛhatī (Solanum indicum Linn.) kaṇṭakārī (Solanum suranttense Burm.) and gokṣura (Tribulus terrestris Linn.).  While Gaṅgādhara in his Jalpakalpataru commentary mentions this as pañchamūla –the roots of a group of five plants viz. bilva,śyonāka, gambhārī, pāṭalā and agnimantha.[ ]Since next verse (5th) describes a recipe with pañchamūla, in this verse considering bilvādi as daśamula is more logical and practical. This basti consists a total of eight prasṛtas (one prasṛta each of taila, prasannā, madhu and ghṛta and two prasṛtaseachof bilvādi decoction and kulattha decoction). Therefore, Gaṅgādhara names this as aṣṭaprāsṛtika basti.[ ]
  −
The basti in verse six, consists of total nine prasṛtas i.e. pañchamūla decoction- five prasṛtas, sesame oil - two prasṛtas, honey- one prasṛta, ghṛta- one prasṛta. Therefore, Gaṅgādhara names this as navaprāsṛtika basti.[ ] (verses 4-6)
  −
Akṣa and karṣa are the units of same amount, which is equal to about twelve grams. Hence the amount of rock salt in this basti would be about 6 grams. Śukra is one of the seven dhātus (structural components). Śukra is not a single entity. It comprises male reprodudtive cells and substances including the androgenic hormones responsible for manhood in a man. This basti promotes quality and quantity of all these entities in the body.

  −
Basti is usually contraindicated in kuṣṭha [Ca. Si. 2/14][ ]. However, Suśrutasaṁhitā recommends nirūhabastis in this condition [Su.Ci.35/22].[ ] Practically nirūha basti, with bitter substances e.g. pañchatikta nirūha, is useful in kuṣṭha.
  −
The quantity of kalka of sarṣapa is not mentioned in the above recipe. According to commentary of Cakrapāṇi on this verse, it may be decided. [ ] In the nirūha bastis with an amount of twelve prasṛtas, the amount of kalka is usually two palas (about100gms).  In present recipe, the amount is five prasṛtas and therefore the amount of kalka of sarṣapa would be about 40 gms. This principle is applicable in latter recipes also where the amount of kalka is not mentioned.  
     −
This basti contains viḍaṅga (Embelia ribes Burm.) which is the best among krimighna(anti-parasitic) [Ca.Su. 25/40] substances. Therefore, it has a krimināśana effect. (verse 9-10)
  −
Gaṅgādhara in his Jalpakalpataru commentary considers payasyāas kṣīrakākolī, which is Fritillaria roylei Hook. Some scholars consider payasyāas vidārī, but in present recipe vidārīis already one ingredient therefore to consider it kṣīrakākolīis appropriate.
   
In the recipes of verse 11-12, the amount of paste is not mentioned. This may be calculated as stated in earlier verse 8th -9th. (verse 11-12)

In above verses from 4 to 14, nine recipes of prasṛtabastis are described. Here a special and practical instruction is given that even if salt is not mentioned in any of the recipes, rock salt is to be added and these bastis are always given with a moderate warm temperature.
+
 
While preparing the bastis, rock salt is to be added. The amount is to be calculated according to the principle described in the 7th verse i.e. about 6 gms. After preparing the basti, to keep it warm until it is administered, a hot water bath may be used. (verse 13-14)

In above verses from 4 to 14, nine recipes of ''prasrita bastis'' are described. Here a special and practical instruction is given that even if salt is not mentioned in any of the recipes, rock salt is to be added and these ''[[basti]]s'' are always given with a moderate warm temperature.
In the verse 15-16, two opposite possibilities are described.  It may be milder than normal or it may be stronger than a normal. A mild basti is unable not only to eliminate doṣas, but it itself is not ableto come out. This is ayoga or hīnayoga (insufficient action). In such a case a basti is to be repeated with a stronger recipe. Contrary to this, if a basti is stronger it may cause an atiyoga (action in excess) causing evacuation of colonic contents more than required and eventually loss of essential substances.
+
 
A soft acting basti is not able to eliminate the doṣhas and may get stagnated and cause disturbance. To eliminate it, a strong and sharp acting basti is recommended. If strong bastis have caused emaciation, dehydration or weakness, the bastis with madhura (sweet) substances are useful because madhura substances are nourishing in action. (verses 15-16)

In vāta-related disorders, basti material with physically and pharmacologically hot property is preferred. It may cause pitta aggravation resulting in burning sensation and other such pitta-related symptoms. In such a condition, grape juice or decoction of raisins added with a kalka (paste) of trivṛt (Operculina turpethum Linn.) is given. In case of unavailability of kalka, its powder can be used. This cures the burning sensation and other pitta-related symptoms with its anti-pitta action and expulsion of stool, pitta and vāta. Yavāgu with sugar is given for nourishing purpose after this laxation. (verses 16-17)

In such a condition it is to be corrected by eating māṣayūṣa (soup of black beans) and kulmāṣa (half cooked grains); and by taking honey or surā. Kulmāṣa is also interpreted as a sour gruel (prepared by the spontaneous fermentation of fruit-juices or boiled rice). However, according to Cakrapāṇi this is half cooked grain (barley etc.), which is popularly known as ghughunī.[ ],[ ]This is known as ghughari in Gujarat and western Madhyapradesh. This is more suitable interpretation. This is considered to be well nourishing food article. (verse 18)

Faulty application of bastis may cause a complication in the form of atisāra. Atisāra is a clinical condition of colon characterized by excessive and frequent defecation with altered consistency of stool. In short it may be interpreted as diarrhea. In next verse different forms of atisāra and their management are described. In this verse the condition is characterized by sāma stool (stool containing āma- undigested material), which smells like a decomposing body (putrid smell) and is associated with abdominal pain. Āma is a substance produced due to weak agni resulting in incomplete transformation of substance. In the present context, due to weak jatharāgni the transformation of food in to digested absorbable substances is incomplete resulting in to production of some intermediate substances.[ ],[ ] These substances are known as āma. Because of its adherent quality it is supposed to be a pathogenic substance.In this condition a decoction of mustā, ativiṣā, kuṣṭha, nata, dāru and vacā is recommended. These medicines help in pāchana (termination) of āma.

In this version of Charaka samhitā thirty six variants are cited, but another version ‘kēvalaiḥ saha ceṭ triṁśadvidyāt sōpadravānapi’ mentions only thirty.[ ]Gaṅgādhara also explains thirty forms in the following manner.[ ]
  −
 The six basic forms of atisāra are:
  −
o āmātisāra (diarrhea with undigested material)
  −
o śakṛdatisāra (frequent stool only)
  −
o vātātisāra (that with significant flatulence)
  −
o asṛkātisāra (that with blood)
  −
o pittātisāra (that with pitta) and
  −
o kaphātisāra (that with kapha).
  −
 Due to saṁsarga (mutual combinations of two) a total of fifteen variants occur, viz.
  −
o āma-śakṛd, āma-vāta, āma-asṛk, āma-pitta, āma-kapha,
  −
o śakṛd-vāta, śakṛd-asṛk, śakṛd-pitta, śakṛd-kapha,
  −
o vāta-asṛk, vāta-pitta, vāta-kapha,
  −
o asṛk-pitta, asṛk-kapha, and
  −
o pitta-kapha.
  −
 Nine upadrava as cited above.
  −
The upadravas in present version of chapter are ten. Gaṅgādhara has taken description of nine upadravas from another version.[ ]But upadravas cannot be counted among types of a disease. Hence the thirtysix variants would be in following manner.

Basic principle of treatment of every condition associated with āma is āmapāchana (termination of āma by promoting function of agni). For this purpose mustā, ativiṣā, kuṣṭha, nata, dāru and vacā (which are mentioned in 19th verse) are to be given. This combination may be given in form of powder or as decoction. This recipe is useful in āmātisāra every origin. (verse 23)

Next condition in which atisāra is associated with dominance of vāta, snēhabasti supplemented with sweet, sourand salty substances is recommended. Being opposite to the properties of vāta, the substances in this basti antagonizes the vāta principle. (verse 24)

Now the management of other conditions - raktātisāra, pittātisāra and kaphātisāra is explained.  In raktātisāra, a basti with blood of animals e.g. goat, is given. This not only stops the bleeding but also supplements the substances to produce blood, which is lost due to colonic bleeding. Pitta pacifying remedies also helpful in this condition and therefore the remedies useful in pittātisāra can also be given in raktātisāra. Substances with astringent, sweetandbitter tastes have pitta-antagonizing action and hence the basti consists of such substances are helpful in management of pittātisāra. Substances with astringent, pungent and bitter tastes have kapha-antagonizing action; therefore, a basti with such medicines is beneficial in kaphātisāra.
