The chapter refers to ''vatashonita'' (or ''vatarakta''), a condition caused by vitiated [[vata]] [[dosha]] and [[rakta dhatu]]. As the disease is caused by predominantly vitiated ''vata'' and ''rakta'', it follows [[Vatavyadhi Chikitsa]] (''vatika'' disorder). The manifestations of ''vatashonita'' resemble various metabolic and connective tissue diseases like gout, inflammatory polyarthritis and vasculitis. This variation in manifestation depends upon degree of vitiation of ''doshas'' and ''dhatu'' in each individual of unique ''prakriti''. This reflects each patient’s unique disease requiring specific personalized treatment which is unique to Ayurvedic system of management. The chapter has description of etiological factors along with types of ''vatashonita, purvarupa'' (prodromal symptoms), ''rupa'' (clinical features) of different types, ''rupa'' of ''dosha'' predominance, ''upadrava'' (complication) ,''sadhya-asadhyatva'' (prognosis), treatment of different types of ''vatashonita'', precautions during treatment as well as symptomatic treatment for relief in non-curable state of disease.

After describing the chapter on various presentations of vata dominant disorders, the chapter on ''vata'' being afflicted by vitiated ''rakta'' is narrated. ''Vatashonita'' is caused by vitiated ''vata dosha'' and ''rakta'' which impede the ''gati'' (movement) of each other. It is also called as ''adhyaroga'' because it affects mainly affluent people who are not habitual to physical activity and indulged in factors responsible for vitiation of ''rakta''. People of ''pitta prakriti'' (''pitta'' constitution) are prone to develop ''vatashonita'', because ''sukumaratva'' (youthful personality) is the characteristic feature of ''pitta prakriti''.
