Answer

Study question (generated from the text)

Because the text says thirst cannot arise without pitta.

Detailed answer

Verse 34 says ama thirst, counted among the dosha kinds, is treated with the whole course for pitta thirst. A footnote describes it as thirst from indigestion of food with heart pain, salivation and malaise, and explains that including it under the dosha kinds keeps the count of five.
