The second part provides for a comprehensive knowledge of disease with its causative factors, premonitory signs and symptoms, clinical features, complications, aggravating and pacifying factors. Complete cure in curable diseases and management of palliable diseases can only be achieved after ''Nidana Parivarjana'' (avoiding the cause). If the cause is removed, then half the treatment is done, because it stops progression of disease as well as helps the host to return to the normal state. Modern science focuses more on disease management after its complete manifestation, while Ayurveda emphasizes on identification of abnormality when it is in a very early stage, so as to prevent its further progression.  The journey of a disease from the initial stage of accumulation of vitiating factors to complete manifestation of its symptoms is to be studied well for its complete knowledge. A disease can cause another disease is described with reference to ''Nidanarthakara roga''. ''Upadrava'' (complications), ''Udarka'' (marks of disease after it is cured) are mentioned for knowing the cause-effect in relation to disease.
