This rule is, however, not applicable for all afflictions or agents because when a ''dravya'' is combined with another ''dravya'' in different quantity and/or of varying purity, then the outcome could be quite different than that of a basic ''dravya''. Such outcomes are known as ''vikrati visham samavaya''. ''Rasa, dravya, dosha'' and ''vikara prabhava'' are based upon these two principles. The three ''dravyas'' mentioned earlier (''taila, ghrita'' and ''madhu'') are largely used in formulations of other drugs, as diet, or as ''anupana'' (concomitant drug). These three do not have any side effects. On the other hand, ''pippali'' (piper longum), alkaline and saline substances invariably vitiate ''dosha'' on frequent use and are advised for limited use.

After comprehending the features of a disease in terms of its etiology, prodromal features, signs and symptoms, suitability, number, predominance of morbid factor, classification, proportional variation, intensity and duration, the physician should assess carefully the features of the drugs, agents, and the constitution of the patient (doshas, drugs, place, time, strength, body, constitutional dominance of one or the other dhatu, diet, suitability, psyche, constitution and age) because the therapeutic interventions depend on the knowledge of the features of doshas, etc. A physician having no knowledge of the features of doshas is incapable of controlling the disease. Hence O Agnivesha! For the knowledge of the features of doshas, etc., we shall describe this section on vimana (specific features) ||3||

To start with, we shall talk about the effects of rasa, dravya (substance), dosha and vikara (disorder). Rasas, as we know, are six – sweet, sour, saline, pungent, bitter and astringent. These maintain the body in harmony if used appropriately otherwise vitiate the doshas. ||4||
