Abstract
This chapter further extends description of classification of diseases according to criteria viz. endogenous-exogenous causes, basic nature, site of origin, clinical presentations. The specific causes of endogenous and exogenous diseases are described. The chapter further enlists diseases caused due to only one dosha with their sites of origin. This elaborates the concept distinct one-dosha categories of diseases. There are as many as eighty variants due to a vitiated vata only, forty due to pitta, and twenty due to kapha. Any effective diagnosis or treatment of these diseases would need a detailed study of the dosha, their locations and characteristics. This knowledge is provided to substantiate the importance of knowing disease before initiating the treatment in clinical medicine. The chapter recapitulates principles of knowledge of disease described in the tetrad.
Keywords: dosha specific diseases, site of dosha, management principles of dosha.
Introduction
In this chapter, diseases are classified into four types - exogenous, vataja, pittaja and kaphaja. Because single-dosha endogenous disorders can be regarded as primary diseases, they have been treated as separate types here. Exogenous and endogenous diseases, and their places of origin within the body, have already been described earlier in the Sutra Sthana and have been reiterated again here. In the preceding chapters, it was mentioned that exogenous diseases follow endogenous ones, and vice-versa. Single-dosha endogenous diseases play a secondary role in the genesis of exogenous diseases.
As also mentioned earlier, there are innumerable diseases because of many etiopathological factors as well as variations in the involvement of dosha and dhatu. Since vitiated dosha are directly or indirectly responsible for all diseases, it is important to understand their normal, or expected, functions and then the pathological consequences of their vitiated forms. By factoring in these fundamental factors, this chapter deals with providing complete scenarios of afflictions, and their recommended line of treatment. Mind and body are the sites of manifestation of exogenous and endogenous diseases. Psychological disorders are considered to be exogenous in nature. An important point to note here (though this has been addressed in an earlier chapter) is that even if some of the vataja types of diseases are caused by other dosha besides vata, it is the vata which is actually responsible for the transmission of vitiated dosha to a specific organ of the body. Kapha, pittaand the dhatu, left to themselves, are immobile in nature. Wherever, they are carried by the vata, they cause diseases, just as the wind causes rain in a particular area. Phases in the natural history, clinical course of a disease, and successive stages of prevention are described under Kriyakala.

Now we shall expound the chapter "Maharoga" (Dosha specific classification of diseases). Thus said Lord Atreya. [1-2]
Classification of diseases

There are four types of diseases viz. agantuja (exogenous), vataja, pittaja and shleshmaja/kaphaja. All varieties of diseases may be grouped under one classification because pain is common to all. They are again of two types depending on their nature- exogenous and endogenous. They are again of two types - somatic and psychic-depending on the sites of their manifestation i.e. body and mind. Diseases are in fact innumerable (dhatu affected, signs and symptoms), distant causes (like improper diet and regimen), and permutation and combination of various fractions of dosha are innumerable. [3]

While exogenous diseases are caused by nails, teeth bites (of wild animals), fall, malevolent spells, curse, psychic afflictions including assault, piercing, bondage, wrapping, application of pressure, binding by rope, fire, weapon, thunderbolt, demoniac seizure, and natural calamities. Endogenous diseases are caused by the disturbance in the equilibrium of vata, pitta and kapha dosha.[4]
Three major causes of diseases

Unwholesome contact between sense organs and their objects, intellectual defects and effects of time constitute the common causative factors for both the exogenous and endogenous types of diseases.[5]
सर्वेऽपि तु खल्वेतेऽभिप्रवृद्धाश्चत्वारो रोगाः परस्परमनुबध्नन्ति, न चान्योन्येन सह सन्देहमापद्यन्ते ||६||
sarvē'pi tu khalvētē'bhipravr̥ddhāścatvārō rōgāḥ parasparamanubadhnanti, na cānyōnyēna sahasandēhamāpadyantē ||6||
sarve~api tu khalvete~abhipravRuddhAshcatvAro rogAH parasparamanubadhnanti, na cAnyonyena sahasandehamApadyante ||6||
All these four types of diseases when aggravated get transform into each other to share common symptoms. Even then, the distinctive features of each one of these diseases are too clearly manifested to allow any confusion. [6]
Difference between endogenous and exogenous diseases

Exogenous diseases begin with pain and then bring about disturbances in the equilibrium of dosha. Endogenous diseases, on the other hand, begin with disturbances in the equilibrium of dosha and then cause pain. [7]

The important sites of origin of these three dosha are as follows:
Urinary bladder, rectum, waist, thighs, legs, bones and colon are the sites of vata, with colon the most important of them.
Sweat, rasa, lasika, rakta and lower part of stomach and duodenum are the sites of pitta, with duodenum, the most important of them.
Chest, head, neck, joints, upper part of stomach and meda (fats) are the sites of shleshma or kapha, with chest the most important of them. [8]

The entire body is the abode of all the three dosha, the normal or abnormal states of which are responsible for good or bad outcomes respectively. Examples of good outcomes include growth, strength, complexion, happiness, etc, while the bad outcomes, manifested due to abnormal states of dosha, cause various types of diseases.
Endogenous diseases again are of two types - diseases caused due to vitiation of two or more dosha, and diseases that are caused by single-dosha. The previous chapter dealt with general diseases. This chapter focuses on the latter. There are 140 types of single-doshadiseases, including 80 types caused by vata, 40 by pitta, and 20 by kapha.[10]

In all the vataja variety of diseases enumerated, even when the inherent properties of vata are manifested partially, these are diagnosed and treated as the disorders of vata. For example, while roughness, coolness, lightness, non-sliminess, motion, shapelessness and instability are known to be the typical characteristics associated with vata, there are various other manifestations of the dosha depending upon the organ it afflicts:
- Stramsa – Looseness
- Bhramsha – Dislocation
- Vyasa – Expansion/division

The vitiated vata should be managed by drugs with a sweet, sour or saline taste, and various unctuous and hot therapeutics procedures such as oleation, fomentation, inhalation, diet, massage, unction, effusion, non-unctuous and unctuous enema, etc. The administered drugs or procedures should have anti-vataja properties and must be administered in appropriate dose and time. Amongst all the above mentioned procedures non-unctuous and unctuous enema are regarded as the most effective forms of treatment for the management of vataja vyadhi because enema enters the colon quickly and strikes at the very root of the vitiated vata. Thus, when vata is overcome in the colon, the disorders of vata in other parts of the body are automatically alleviated like the tree when cut at the root results in the automatic destruction of the trunk, branches, sprouts, flowers, fruits, leaves etc.[13]

In all the pittaja variety of diseases enumerated, even a partial manifestation of the vitiated pitta would still warrant them to be diagnosed and treated as a disorder of the pitta. For example, heat, sharpness, liquidity, slight unctuousness, all colours except white and red, fishy smell, pungent and sour taste and fluidity are the specific characters of pitta, but the manifestations of pitta could be different depending upon the organs they afflict:
- Daha-Burning sensation
- Aushnya–Heat
- Paka–Suppuration/Inflammation
- Sweda–Perspiration
- Kleda–Moisture
- Kotha–Sloughing
- Kandu–Itching
- Srava–Discharge
- Raga–Redness
- Gandha (Visra ama gandha) - Foul smell
- Rasa (katu, amla and tikta rasa) – Taste namely pungent, sour and bitter.
- Varna (harita, haridra, peeta, neela, tamra) – Colours namely greenish, deep yellowish, yellowish, blue, coppery. [15]

Abnormal pitta disorders should be managed by drugs having sweet, bitter, astringent, and cooling qualities. Any therapeutic modalities administered, such as oleation, purgation, fasting, affusion, massage, etc. should have anti-pittaja properties and must be administered in appropriate dose and time. Of all the above mentioned procedures, purgation is regarded as the most effective mode of treatment for the management of pittaja vyadhi. When pitta is overcome in the amashaya through administration of purgative substances, the disorders of pitta in other parts of the body are automatically pacified just like a fire chamber cools down when the fire is doused.

In all, like in the case of vata and pitta disorders, all the kaphajavariety of diseases mentioned above would be diagnosed and treated as disorders of kapha even when exhibiting partial manifestations of the dosha. For example, unctuousness, coldness, whiteness, heaviness, sweetness, steadiness, sliminess and viscosity are the specific characters of kapha. Kapha, having such characteristic properties, produces the following actions in the organs it afflicts:
- Shvaitya – Whiteness
- Shaitya – Coldness
- Kandu – Itching
- Sthairya – Stability
- Gaurava – Heaviness
- Sneha – Unctuousness
- Supti – Numbness
- Kleda – Moistening/stickiness
- Upadeha – Coating over body parts
- Bandha – Binding
- Madhurya – Sweetness
- Chirakaritva – Chronic nature of disease
All the above are the actions of kapha dosha and the same may be diagnosed as kaphaja variety of diseases. [18]

Abnormal kapha should be managed using drugs having pungent, bitter, astringent, sharp, hot and dry qualities, and by means of other therapeutic modalities such as fomentation, emesis, evacuation of dosha from head, exercise etc. that have anti-kaphaja properties and these must be administered in appropriate dose and time. Amongst all the above mentioned procedures emesis is regarded the most effective form of treatment for the management of kaphaja diseases because immediately after entering the stomach, it strikes at the very root cause of the vitiation of kapha. Thus, when kapha is overcome in the stomach, any kapha-related affliction in any other part of the body gets pacified automatically quite like the drying up of crops of rice in the absence of moisture when the obstructing ridge of the field is broken.[19]

A physician should first diagnose the disease and then select the proper medicine. Thereafter, he should administer the therapy applying the knowledge of the science of medicine (he had already gained). A physician who initiates treatment without proper diagnosis of the disease can accomplish the desired object only by chance (that is to say he cannot be sure of his success). The fact that he is well-acquainted with the knowledge of application of medicine does not necessarily guarantee his success. On the other hand, the physician who is well-versed in diagnosing disease, who is proficient in the administration of medicines and who knows about modalities to be used in a therapy (that varies from place to place and season to season) is sure to accomplish the desired outcome without any doubt.[20-22]

In this chapter on major diseases, the enlightened sage has fully dealt with the following: classification of diseases, their nature, sites of manifestation, primary and secondary causative factors, interchangeability and specific identity of disease, sites of dosha, enumeration of specific diseases due to dosha, invariable signs and non changeable actions of dosha and specific treatment of each dosha. [23-25]
Tattva Vimarsha(Fundamental Principles)
- Mind and body are the sites of manifestation of diseases and get afflicted with exogenous and endogenous diseases.
- Mental diseases (as diseases related to passion, worries etc. psychological factors) are exogenous diseases.
- By permutation and combination, the three dosha and seven dhatu may form innumerable varieties of diseases, but only those diseases which most commonly manifest have been described in the texts.
- Endogenous diseases of the general type (samanyaja) are caused by the combination of two or more dosha.
- Endogenous diseases of the specific type (Nanatmaja=Na+Anatmaja=Atmaja) are on the other hand, caused by only one of the dosha
- Even if some of the vataja types of diseases are caused by other dosha besides vata, it is the vata which is actually responsible for the transmission of the vitiated dosha to a specific organ of the body as it has been said ‘kapha, pitta and dhatu, left to themselves are immobile in nature. Wherever, they are carried by the vata, they cause disease just as the wind causes rain in a particular area.
- Phases in the natural history and clinical course of a disease to successive stages of prevention are described under kriyakala.
- Each dosha has its specific site of action. Various disorders are caused due to involvement of one or more qualities of dosha.
