The chapter deals with importance of ''dehabala'' (physical strength) and ''sattvabala'' (psychological strength) in assessing the severity and prognosis of diseases. If a physician masters the art of assessing properly the physical and psychological strength, he never fails in proper prognosis and management of patients.

*Parasitology and Bacteriolgy in Ayurveda –Oldest recording of classification and treatment of ''krimi'' (parasites and microbes) is found in [[Charaka Samhita]]. It is obvious that they had knowledge of parasites and invisible microorganisms and their role in pathogenesis and symbiosis. Details of ''krimis'' is described under seven subheadings i.e., aetiology, nomenclature, site, morphology, colour, pathogenesis and treatment, in the text total number of ''krimi'' is mentioned as twenty.

*Classification – The ''krimis'' are classified as external and internal. Internal type has been further classified under three subtypes i.e. ''raktaja'' (originating in blood), ''shleshmika'' (originating due to ''kapha'' predominant factors), and ''purishaja'' (originating in feces).

*Morphology – Charaka has described three morphological types of ''shlaishmika krimi'' which is consistent with present day parasitology, three types include platy helminths, large nematodes and small nematodes.

*Pathogenesis – ''Raktaja krimi'' are invisible and produce the symptomatology like ''kushtha'' hence they are to be treated like the disease ''kushtha''. However, The ''shleshmika'' and ''purishaja'' variety has more academic importance than therapeutic as their etiological factor and treatment are the same but the presenting symptomatology is different.

#''Krimis'' are classified as external and internal variety mainly. They are further sub classified based upon etiology, habitat, morphology, color, nomenclature, pathogenesis and treatment.
#The four categories based on their habitat are: ''purishaja'' (origin in fecal matter), ''shleshmaja'' (origin in ''shleshma'' including body fluids, mucosal layers), ''raktaja'' (origin in blood), ''malaja'' (origin in body impurities).

#Management principles given for ''krimi'' are ''nidana parivarjana'' (removal of causative factor), ''apakarshana'' (removal of ''krimi'') and ''prakritivighata'' (eradicating favorable environment for growth of ''krimi''). This is collectively a complete management principle (''Chikitsa Sutra'') in [[Charaka Samhita]] in all aspects, as all other principles are ''ekangika'' (pertaining only to one or two components of disease process).
