simultaneously in the pulse vitiated by pitta and slesma. Its answer is that unsteadiness and slowness do not take place at the same time in the pulse vitiated by pitta and slesma, these symptoms are indicated at different times.
In another work it is said that the pulse sometimes moves on slowly and sometimes quickly due to intensity of slesma and pitta. The rule of the mixed movement in regard to others is to be known like this everywhere.
उक्तवक्रादिगतिसामान्यस्य क्रमेण विशेषत्वमाह
The particularity of general movement of the aforesaid vata, etc. is stated in order :
सर्पजलौका दिगति वदन्ति विबुधाः प्रभञ्जनेन नाड़ीम् । पित्तेन काकलावकभेकादिर्गात विदुः सुधियः || ( V. 6 ) पारावतकपोतयोः ।
राजहंसमयूराणां
कुक्कुटस्य गति धत्ते धमनी कफसंवृता || (V.7)
The scholars say that the movement of the pulse vitiated by bodily humour-vayu is crooked like that of a snake, a water-leech and a scorpion. The movement of the pulse vitiated by bodily humourpitta is like that of a crow, a quail, and a frog. (V. 6)
And the movement of the pulse vitiated by bodily humour-kaph is like that of a gander, a peacock, a pigeon, a dove, and a cock, i.e. the pulse vitiated by kaph assumes the movement of a gander a peacock, a pigeon, a dove, and a cock, bending backward. (V. 7)
