| When a weak person fights against a strong one, or exercises with an excessively large (or weighty) bow (weapon), or speaks too much, or physically carries a lot of weight, or swims across a long distance in water, or is habitually subjected to forceful massage including kneading with feet, or sprints over a long distance, or is assaulted, or practices various complicated or excessive physical exercises, his lungs are “traumatized” due to excessive exertion. This aggravates ''vayu'' in the lung region, taking along ''kapha'' residing in the lungs while also affecting ''pitta'', causing the vitiated ''doshas'' to spread upwards, downwards and obliquely. A portion of this afflicted ''dosha'' system that gets into body joints causes yawning, body ache, and fever. That which gets into the ''amashaya'' causes diseases of lungs and anorexia. That which gets into the throat causes irritation of the throat and hoarseness of voice. That which gets into the channels carrying vital breath (bronchial channels) causes dyspnea and coryza. And that which gets into the head produces distress in the head. Thus, due to wound in lungs, irregular movement of ''vayu'' causes a variety of diseases depending upon the organs it gets into. The lungs get damaged further, triggering conditions such as hemoptysis and consequently weakening the patient. This verse, therefore, advises the reader to engage in laborious activities appropriate to his strength and not overexert himself.
