Having or expressing desires is a human trait, and only human beings aspire to fulfil them. This chapter, [[Tistraishaniya Adhyaya]], tries to explain three basic desires in human beings, and the mode to fulfil them during one’s life – longevity, wealth (or material comforts), and a blissful afterlife. This chapter is described under ''Nirdesha Chatushka'' since it gives instructions to lead a healthy and righteous life.  It also guides to treat a patient with physical and/or mental disease and describes a triad of eight ''vargas'', or ''ashtatrikas'', explaining the theories of reincarnation and creation of universe. Four ''parikshas'' (''aptopadesha, pratyaksha, anumana'' and ''yukti'') or means for getting correct knowledge and their role in establishing the theory of reincarnation are described in detail. Using these methods, a physician can get knowledge about ''roga'' (disease) and ''rogi'' (patient) and can choose appropriate courses of treatment, with suitable drugs.
