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

  • The text explains prodromes through the sign and signified relation: as smoke is the sign by which fire is known, prodromal changes are signs of diseases such as consumption, which later become manifest with their own features.

Early signs1

  • The introduction says that before the doṣas lodge in a site, accumulation and the following stages take place and the definite form of the disease approaches; at this time the prodromal signs appear, so the pūrvarūpa must be considered in diagnosis. After this doṣa and dūṣya unite, the doṣas lodge in the site and all the signs become clear.
