77. Parushya, 78. (jlyavarunavabhasata, 79. Asapna, and 80. Anavasthitachittatwa. Theseare the Eighty disorders due to Wind.*10 Among the innumerable diseases caused by disorders of Wind, only those have been mentioned that are generally noticed.
Verily, in ad these diseases of Wind (that have been mentioned) and in others that have not been mentioned, skilful physicians, ascertaining what the unmodified nature is of the Wind by itself, and what the indications are of its abnormal functions (in the body) and what the parts are of the body where the Wind resides, should, freed from doubt, diagnose the character of the disease as due to the action of the Wind.*20-21
It is to be done as follows : —
Dryness, lightness, clearness, coolness, motion, and formless¬ ness, are the attributes of the Wind by itself. In consequence of the Wind being so, the indications of its abnormal functions, as it exists in the different limbs of the body, are these : —
Falling out, displacement, extension or enlargement, burst¬ ing of limbs, cheerlessness, joy, thirst, tremours, pain in the whole body, twitching, piercing pains ( as if caused by needles), inflam¬ mations, painful sensation as if caused by the limb (that is its seat) being tightly bound with cords, and fractures; also roughness of the skin, hardness of the limbs, heaviness of the limbs and absence of activity, perforations in the limbs, redness of complexion, astrin¬ gent taste in the mouth, tastelessness in the mouth, severe pains of a local character, swellings, sleep, contractions (of skin, muscles, nerves, &c.), and numbness or paralysis of limbs.
When endued with these symptoms, the physician assigns the disease to the action of the Wind.f 2
77. Parushya is a general hardness or roughness of the limbs.
78. Cyavarunavabhasata is a paleness and redness of the complexion.
79. Asapna is Insomnia or sleeplessness.
80. Anavasthitachittatwa is restlessness of mind.
* ‘ Aparinami ’ is unmodified or normal. The words ‘ Vayoridamatmarupam’ means ‘this is the own form of the wind,’ i.e., these are the attributes of the wind by itself or in its form as unmodified by disturbing causes — T.
f ‘ Sada ’ and ‘harsha,’ which I render ‘ cheerlessness and joy,’ may also mean the indications, in the body, of those mental states, and not those mental states only. Thus, weakness or langour, and horripilation are due to Wind. — T.
