Description of ''krimija hridroga'' indicates a very serious condition. As mentioned earlier, infestation starts with one chamber of the heart and then spreads and consumes (''bhakshyanti'') tissues across the entire heart.The patient of ''krimija hridroga'' feels severe pain in the precordial region, as if heart is being pricked/pierced by needles or cut by weapons and is a very grave heart condition that may lead to immediate death. Therefore it is a severe condition and should be promptly diagnosed and managed. It may manifest as chest pain, arrhythmia, heart failure, acute myocardial infarction-like syndrome with normal coronary arteries, ventricular arrhythmia, and loss of right ventricular function leading to sudden death. (Verse 36-40).

==== ''Samsarga'' and ''Sannipata'' ====
    
Combination of two provoked ''doshas'' leading to a disease is known as ''samsarga'' and when all the three provoked ''doshas'' combine then it is known as ''sannipata''. In the combinations , some ''doshas'' may be in their normal state, while others may be slightly, moderately or excessively increased or in decrease state. Similarly they may be slightly, moderately or significantly decreased. In this way, on the basis of quantum of increase, decrease etc of the ''dosha'', they can be classified into 62 types (verses from 41 to 62) as follows:

On the other hand, ''vikriti-vishama-samveta'' a combination of provoked ''doshas'' wherein new symptoms are produced that are neither of any of the ''doshas'' involved. For example, red colour appears on mixing of white lime and yellow turmeric, and in such a case the specific symptoms produced by the combination are described. Here in 17th chapter, specific symptoms of 12 types of ''vikriti-vishama-samveta'' ''sannipata'' are given in detail, but symptoms of ''sama sannipata'' are not given as it is ''prakriti-sama-samveta'' (Verses 41-72).

'''''Ojas''''': Ojas is well known and defined  in Ayurveda in terms of its functions, its importance, its types and its sites of functions within the body. It has been described in this text as a clear and slightly red-yellowish fluid situated in the heart is known as ''ojas'', the destruction of which leads to death. Its colour resembles to that of ''ghee'', taste is like honey and its smell is like that of roasted paddy (Verses 73-75). But its interpretation in modern physiological terms is confusing. In this chapter a hint has been given in this regard that ''ojas'' is a first thing created in the body of all living creatures. The symptoms of diminished ''ojas'' include timidity, debility, constant worry, discomfort of the senses, loss of lustre, neurasthenia, dryness and emaciation.

'''''Āvarita madhumeha (type 1 Diabetes mellitus)''''': Two scenarios that cause  provocation of ''vata'' have been mentioned: decrease of ''dhatu'' (''dhatu kshaya'') and ''avarana''(cover)[Cha. Chi. 28/59]. The description of ''madhumeha'', provided earlier in this chapter, provides a good example of ''avarana''.That a provoked or vitiated ''vata'' causes ''madhumeha'' has also been reiterated in the [[Nidana Sthana]]. All the factors that cause decrease of body tissues lead to provocation of ''vāta''. But even though ''madhumeha'' is caused by a vitiated ''vata'', its etiological factors also cause an increase in ''kapha'' and ''pitta''. The comparison of ''nidana'' of ''madhumeha'' mentioned in these two different references is tabulated here:
