What the text says
Each statement reports the source, with its chapter, page and verse. Traditional descriptions are not presented as proven medical facts.
Definition1
Hemanta is placed in Mārgaśīrṣa and Pauṣa, when it is extremely cold; the editor's second scheme puts it in Pauṣa and Māgha, and within each day the pre-dawn hours (about 4 a.m.) correspond to it.
How it develops1
Kapha accumulated in hemanta is said to be aggravated in spring; the editor places kapha's accumulation in Pauṣa–Māgha.
Diet1
In hemanta the verse calls pungent, bitter and cold things unwholesome and salty/alkaline, astringent, sour and sweet food with ghee and oil wholesome, with water suitable; the commentary agrees but also lists sour among the unwholesome items, contradicting the verse and its own next sentence.
