In order to allay the apprehension of incomplete description of ''samprapti'' for each disease, the ''samprapti'' in general of all diseases is described here in this chapter. <ref>Chakrapani, Commentator, Charak Samhita Nidansthana Adhyaya 1/10, Edited by Jadavaji Trikamji, Fifth Edition Chaukhambha Sanskrit Sansthana, Varanasi, 2001,197. </ref>

''Kala samprapti'' means the type that is governed by seasonal variations. Aggravation/ manifestation of ''shleshmika/kaphaja'' type of fever during winter season is the example of seasonal variation. Some [[Ayurveda]] practitioners attribute an extreme form of manifestation to deeds in the patient’s past life, and define ''vidhi samprapti'' as an affliction attributed to such deeds. <ref>Chakrapani, Commentator, Charak Samhita Nidansthana Adhyaya 1/11, Edited by Jadavaji Trikamji, Fifth Edition Chaukhambha Sanskrit Sansthana, Varanasi, 2001,196. </ref> The timing of disease manifestation shows variation in the ''samprapti'' or pathogenesis. This aspect of ''samprapti'' helps in clearly determining the specific characteristics of a disease.
