Answer
Study question (generated from the text)
Because the poison, carried by vata, passes from one dhatu to the next, each passage making one stage, and there are seven dhatus.
Detailed answer
The commentary says the poison stays at the bite for at most 450 matra units of time (a footnote defines a matra as the time to circle the hand once around the knee and snap the fingers); reaching rasa makes the first stage, passing from rasa to rakta the second, and so on, so there are seven stages, not eight or six.
