in their potency, or applied in the case of a patient having
Iain in a-iy of the objectionable postures at the time
of the application, or possessed of a dry or Vdyu-
predominating temperament. The remedy in these
cases should consist in applying Sveda, anointments
and appropriate Vastis. 14.
Symptoms which are known as Atiyoga, following
applications of Vastis charged with an inordinate
quantity of medicinal fluid or with extremely hot or
strong solutions as well as the application of Vastis
after an excessive application of Sveda (fomentation)
and in slight derangements of the bodily Doshas
should be treated identically as in cases laid down
in connection with an Atiyoga (excessive use) of pur-
gatives. The use of a Pichchhila vasti in a cold
state is also recommended, as it would give the patient
much relief. 15.
Measures and remedies mentioned in respect of
JivddAna (haemorrhage of the bowels) in connection
with an excessive use of purgatives should be employed
in the case of similar symptoms (Jivada'na) follow-
ing the excessive use of a Vasti. Application* of
Pichchhila-vasti charged with blood are likewise recom-
mended in these cases. 16.
The foregoing nine kinds of distressing symptoms
(Vyaipat) resulting from an injudicious application of
a Niruha-vasti are also found to result from the inju-
dicious application of a Sneha-vasti. All the dis-
tresses (of the injudicious applications of a Vasti) with
their symptMTis and the course of medical treatment
to be adopted (in each case) have thus been described.
A discrete and experienced physician should so act
as not to induce these distresses (Vyapat) in connection
with the applications of a Vasti. 17-18.
