It should be known (or understood) through the knowledge (science) of pulse, an easily curable disease, if the pulse (of a patient) assumes the movement of that element (dhatu) when it relates to it. The meaning is this:
Suppose the excessive agitation of vayu (air) is in the afternoon and the movement of the pulse is examined; if the movement of vayu (crooked movement is first felt, next that of pitta (bile) (i. e. restlessness) and next that of Islesma (phlegm) (i. e. slow movement), then it should be understood as a healthy condition of curability. If the case is different, then it should be understood as serious or incurable case (V. 12)
असाध्य रूपमाह
Nature of incurability of disease is stated :
मन्दं मन्दं शिथिल शिथिलं व्याकुलं व्याकुलं वा । fegcar fegcar agfa a¤åı qıfa aqsa gear || (V.13)
The pulse indicating three faults-vata, pitta, and slesma, sometimes flows slowly; and sometimes agitatingly and agitatingly hither and thither like a fearful man; sometimes beats by stopping and stopping; sometimes goes on by delaying and delaying or it is so thin that its beating is not felt at all.
