[[Vata]] as explained earlier is the biological force present in the body which recognizes and stimulates all the activities. Instability of [[vata]] makes it inaccessible. It is characterized by an increase in the ''chala'' (motion) property, which is favored and contributed by other properties also. The ''chala guna'' is directional in nature and termed as ''gati''. ''Gati'' is the distinct quality of [[vata]], very important on physiological and pathological aspects. The ''gati'' of individual components of [[vata]] is to be analyzed according to the intensity, direction and area; depending upon the particular function it is carrying out. When the ''gati'' is aggravated (''gatatva'') or obstructed (''avarana'') the functional normality’s of [[vata]] are impaired. The ''gati'' or ''gatatva'' have two implications, one subjected to activity (to move, carry out or reach-gata) and the second subjected to abode of activity (pathway). ''Gatatva'' is an essential part of any [[vata]]ja samprapti'' (pathogenesis). ''Gatatva'' of [[vata]] is possible in [[dhatu]], upadhatu, asaya'' (sites or hollow cavities of organs), ''avayava'' (part or organ), etc. Consumption of ''ahara'' of relatively higher ''kittansa'' (waste products) leads to diminution of [[dhatu]] and aggravation of [[vata]][ Cha. Sa. [[Sutra Sthana]] 28/4]. It leads to ''riktata'' (emptiness) and more ''avakasa'' (space) in [[dhatu]], makes the engorgement and hyper movement of aggravated [[vata]] in the site. [[Dhatu]]gatavata and [[dhatu]]avrita [[vata]] are also distinct pathologies as in ''avarana'' the vitiation of [[vata]] is passive and the ''gati'' is obstructed.

The chapter begins with praising of powerful [[vata]] followed with five subtypes of [[vata]]. After these descriptions, the etiopathological and therapeutic aspects of [[vata]] are explained. In the present chapter the two distinct pathology of [[vata]] is explained with possible causative factors. In the context of ''gatavata'', the pathology is related to the various [[dhatu]], ashaya'' or ''avayava'' involved in ''gatatva''. The same way different ''avarana'' of [[vata]] by other two [[dosha]], [[dhatu]], [[mala]], anna, etc. are explained. Since different subtypes of [[vata]] possess different ''gati'' mutual ''avarana'' among subtypes are also possible. The chapter also explains various disorders like ''pakshaghata, ardita, akshepaka, avabahuka'' etc. The general line of treatment of absolute [[vata]] vitiation is detailed in the chapter by giving importance to [[snehana]], [[swedana]], samshodana, etc.  An ample amount of medications including various ''taila yoga, ghr̥ita yoga,'' etc. are also given in the chapter. The specific treatment approaches in exclusive conditions are also explained.

[[Vata]]vyadhi are group of disorders which are very commonly encountered by ayurvedic physicians. In many diseases like ''pakshaghata, ardita, gridhrasi, kateegraha,'' etc. ayurvedic physicians are claiming better results and it is widely accepted also. Critical understandings of pathology, types, prognostic factors etc. are very important for academic and clinical success. Thus, thorough understanding of [[vata]] roga is essential for every treating physician.
