Changes

Human is the result of ''shad-dhatu'' (six elements, including ''panchamahabuta'' or the five elements, and atman). Diseases also arise from those six elements. This is the principle of ''Samkhya'' philosophy. This type of constitution is also referred to as ''Rashi Purusha''. [14-15]

To Kushika [Hiranyaksha] who was presenting his views, sage Kaushika said, "No, This is not true. How can the six elements create an individual without any role of the father and the mother? A human is born of a human (parents), the cow is born of cows, and the horse is born of horses. Diseases such as prameha (obstinate urinary diseases), and various other diseases, are considered to be hereditary. Therefore, the father and the mother (parents) are the origin of the humans and also the diseases. [16-17]

  Bhadrakapya disagreed with the above views and said, “ No. This is not true because blind children are not born to blind parents. Parents themselves also are not born before the creation. Therefore, human beings, as well as the diseases, originate from the deeds performed in past life. Without karma (past action or deeds) neither human beings nor their diseases could have been created. [18-19]
