________________
The movement of the pulse is known by the best physicians to be feeble at the time of anxiety (due to sexual thought or thought of detachment) and anger, fear, thought, labour, and desires, etc. (V. 15)
प्रसङ्गाज्ज्वरिणः कुपथ्यादिज्ञानमाह
In this connection the knowledge of the effect of bad diet, etc. taken by the patient suffering from fever is stated (as indicated by the pulse):
ज्वरे च रमणे नाड़ी क्षीणाङ्गा मन्दगामिनी ।
sat sifatu wafta famar: far: 11 V.16 11
The pulse becomes feeble and slow-moving in fever, if sexual enjoyment is made with one's wife, the pulse becomes vikalah (agitated or restless) in fever caused by sexual passion. That is, if a patient becomes passionate in fever, his pulse runs restlessly like a man who moves restlessly to and fro, if he does not get his desired thing. (V. 16)
उष्णत्वं वर्षमा वेगा ज्वरिणां दधिभोजनात् ।। V. 17 ।।
The speed and heat of the pulse become more than fever in the case of patients taking curd in fever. (V. 17)
3+arfæeartyeazà sirgeà arfqar: fazr; I
काञ्जिकया ज्वराक्रान्ते जायन्ते मन्थरा गतिः ।। V. 18
The pulses become hot in the case of fever or any other disease on the taking of too much sour things. The movement of the pulse becomes slow in the case of fever caused by taking Kanjika (sour rice gruel). (V. 18)
