This vitiated ''vayu'', when it gets into the ''amashaya'' (stomach), afflicts ''agni'' and vitiates the first ''dhatu'' (''rasa'') created through this vitiated digestion process. This (vitiated admixture of ''vayu'' and ''rasa'') blocks the channels associated with ''rasa'' and ''sweda'' (sweat), adversely affecting the digestive processes and moving that heat out of its locus into other parts of the body. This excess heat leads to ''jwara''.
