''Udaka'' in Sanskrit translates as fluid and ''udara'' refers to the distension of the abdomen, put together the term ''udakodara'' means distension of the abdomen due to accumulation of the fluid. According to Sanskrit literature, the word ''dakodara'' is formed by the removal of initial letter u from the word ''udakodara''. Thus, formed word ''dakodara'' also give the same meaning of ''udakodara''.<ref>Agnivesha.

Water intoxication and edema are the two distinct clinical implications of over hydration. Excessive intake of plain water without adequate solutes causes abnormal increase in extracellular fluid with deficient sodium. This in turn causes movement of fluid into the cell to maintain the salt balance. Thus, resulting in cellular edema which in turn causes the clinical manifestation of water intoxication and it is a fatal condition. Contrary to this over hydration with adequate intake of sodium leads to increase in the fluid within the interstitial compartment due to excess of isotonic volume excess. The water does not diffuse into the cells as the solutes hold the water in the interstitial fluid compartment. Thus this will result in the edema. This edema is due to over hydration and is comparable to ''jalodara''.

Over hydration is observed in different clinical situations. As fluid supplementation is recommended in patients suffering from gastroenteritis, an excess of fluid intake may lead to over hydration. Identical to this, excessive fluid intake after any of the purification procedure may have similar sequel. Psychogenic polydipsia characterized by compulsive water drinking may sometimes lead to over hydration. This is also true in mentally challenged children. Individuals are likely to take large amount of fluids following long bouts of intensive exercise and will have the similar consequences of over hydration. Marathon runners are susceptible to excessive fluid intake while running and may prove incriminatory. Any physical activity leading to profuse sweating like working in extreme heat or humidity; may be followed by intake of excessive fluid to replace the loss. These situations with excessive fluid supplementation with adequate addition of salt and other solutes lead to edema.<ref>Agnivesha.

Edema due to isotonic volume excess is characterized by weight gain, dependent edema, pitting edema, engorged neck vein, ascites, pericardial effusion, pleural effusion, increased blood pressure and congestive cardiac failure. [47]
