	Hearing the scientific explanation of Badisha which was approved by the sages, Varyovida, the royal sage said “Sir, all that you have told is very true and free from any exception and misleading notion. The functions of both the bodily and the external ''[[vata]]'', either normal or aggravated, moving within or outside the body will now be described after paying obeisance to lord Vayu, as has been perceived by us through our direct observation, inference and textual knowledge.		Hearing the scientific explanation of Badisha which was approved by the sages, Varyovida, the royal sage said “Sir, all that you have told is very true and free from any exception and misleading notion. The functions of both the bodily and the external ''[[vata]]'', either normal or aggravated, moving within or outside the body will now be described after paying obeisance to lord Vayu, as has been perceived by us through our direct observation, inference and textual knowledge.

	''[Vata]]'' in its normalcy maintains the whole body and its systems, working as ''prāna, udāna, samāna,'' and ''apāna''. It is the initiator of all kinds of activities within the body, the controller and impellor of all mental functions, and the employer of all sensory faculties (helping in the enjoyment of their subjects). It joins the body tissues and brings compactness to the body, prompts speech, is the origin of touch and sound, is the root cause of auditory and tactile sense faculties, is the causative factor of joy and courage, stimulates the digestive fire, and helps in the absorption of the [[dosha]] and ejection of the excretory products. [[Vata]] traverses all gross and subtle channels, moulds the embryo shape and is the indicator of continuity of life.

	The bodily ''[[vata]]'', when aggravated, afflicts the body with various kinds of diseases and deteriorates or diminishes the strength, complexion, happiness, and the life span of an individual. It perturbs the mind, disturbs the sense faculties, destroys, deforms or retains the embryo for longer periods, gives rise to fear, grief, attachment, humility, excessive delirium, and takes away life.
