Vamana Virechana Vyapat Siddhi: Difference between revisions

The 10 sets of vyaapath are explained either as ayoga or atiyoga, because ultimately drug can act broadly only in these contexts. Very intelligently aachaarya says, this can happen because of defect in preshya (attendent), bhaishajya (drug), vaidya (physician) and atura (patient). These are also the chatushpaada mentioned in Ayurveda. (A.H.Su.1/27). In the above context, we can see the change in the order. The attendant comes in first, then drug, then the physician and then only the patient. Probably the clinical observation of aacharya might have lead him to this conclusion, but most of the time, it is the attendant who becomes responsible, because of ill-equipped expertise, then comes the drug. However, the position of rogi is the last one, because the vaidya must have the capability to correct even the rogi. (Verse 29-30)

Any procedure can have the outcome only in three ways, which is explained here. Hence, the procedure has to be analysed within the frame of these three outcomes. (Verse 31)
