The pulse becomes slow, in dysentery, like a water leech in the summer, it becomes crooked in vatatisara (dysentery caused by some derangement or vitiation of bodily humour-wind) and restless or pittasambhava (dysentery caused by some derangement of bodily humour-pitta, bile); and the movement of the pulse becomes like that of a gander in Kaphajatisara (dysentery caused by derangement or vitiation of bodily humour-kaph, phlegm). (V. 30)
द्वन्द्वजातिसारे नाड़ीं मुहुर्भेकगति तथा । वातपित्तसमुद्भूतां प्रवदन्ति मनीषिणः || भुजगादिगति स्थूलां राजहंसगति तथा । वातश्लेष्मसमुद्भूतां प्रवदन्ति महाधियः ॥ मण्डकादिगति नाड़ी मयूरादिगतिं तथा । पित्तश्लेष्मसमुद्भूतां प्रवदन्ति विशारदाः ।
सन्निपाते विलुप्ता तु नाड़ी भवति निश्चितम् ।। V.31 ।।
In dvandvajatisara (dysentery caused by vitiation of two bodily humours-vata and pitta, etc.) the pulse moves like a frog, jumping and jumping at moments, say the learned men.
The sages say that the pulse makes movement like that of a snake and a gander in vataslesmatisara (dysentery caused by vitiation of two bodily humoursvata and slesma) and it is thick or large. The experts or specialists say that the pulse moves like a frog and a peacock in pittaslesmatisara (dysentery caused by some vitiation of two bodily humours-pitta and slesma). The pulse becomes certainly missing in
