Listening to this, Kumarashira Bhardvaja spoke, “It is, as you have described Sir, these that are the ''gunas'' of ''vata''.

Listening to it, Badisha Dhamargava said “It is as you have said, Sir. These are the aggravating and alleviating factors of vata. We will now discuss how the nonmaterial and unstable, and thus, the inaccessible vata is aggravated and alleviated. vata aggravators are those which bring roughness, lightness, coldness, instability, coarseness, non–sliminess and hollowness within the body. The vata dosha gets shelter in such state of the body or its part and gets augmented, resulting in aggravation state. The alleviating factors are again those which bring about unctuousness, heaviness, heat, smoothness, softness, sliminess and compactness in the body. vata does not get accommodation in such a kind of body and thus gets alleviated.[7]
