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
Autumn (śarad) is placed in Āśvina and Kārtika and called constantly heat-causing; the editor's second scheme puts it in Kārtika and Mārgaśīrṣa (Agahan), and within each day midnight corresponds to it.
How it develops1
Pitta is aggravated in autumn; the editor gives Kārtika–Mārgaśīrṣa for its aggravation and Mārgaśīrṣa for its elimination by purgation.
Diet1
In autumn, food with ghee and sugar (and milk, in the verse) and with astringent items, and bitter and astringent drinks, are said to be wholesome, and water from rivers, wells or ponds is all suitable.
Regimen1
A footnote says pitta is aggravated in autumn by the nature of the season, so purgation is given then.
