वाताद् वऋगता नाड़ी चपला पित्तवाहिनी ।
FF TOT gotonaat sat fasta faftar Haa II (V.5) The pulse deranged or vitiated by bodily humourvata (wind or air) is vakragamini (crookedly-going), the pulse deranged or vitiated by bodily humour-pitta (bile or fire) is chanchala (tremulus or unsteady), and the pulse deranged or vitiated by bodily humour-kaph (phlegm or water) is known to be mandagamini (slowgoing) (V.5)
The pulse having two faults is endowed with symptoms of two faults, the pulse having three faults is endowed with symptoms of three faults. That is, the movement of the pulse vitiated by vata and pitta (air and fire or bile) is crooked and unsteady respectively, the movement of the pulse vitiated by vata and slesma (air and phlegm or water) is crooked and slow respectively, and the movement of the pulse vitiated by pitta and slesma (fire or bile and phlegm or water) is unsteady and slow respectively. The movement of the pulse vitiated by vayu, pitta, and slesma (air, bile, and phlegm) is crooked, unsteady, and slow respectively.
In this case also there may be an objection : how the mixed symptoms will arise, suppose the movement of the pulse vitiated by pitta is unsteady or restless and the movement of the pulse vitiated by kaph is slow. Unsteadiness and slowness are opposite characteristics to each other, therefore, two opposite characteristics (or symptoms) will be manifested
