After the description of ''grahani dosha'', the chapter on ''pandu roga'' is given, as the causative factors of ''pandu roga'' are quite similar to that of ''grahani dosha''.

The chapter deals with general discoloration of the body such as pallor, yellowish, greenish and whitish discoloration which is seen in skin, eyes, lips, face, nails, urine feces etc.
