Answer

Study question (generated from the text)

It says apasmara comes from quickly moving doshas, so it arrives suddenly and passes quickly; ignorant people take this for a graha's work, but it is born of the doshas.

Detailed answer

Verses 112 and 113 describe the attack (falling, gnashing teeth, vomiting phlegm, upturned eyes, loud cries) with vata predominant, and verse 117 treats it with the drugs for insanity and strong nasya.
