________________
physician should know the conditions of the pulse in the case of untold diseases by observing the conditions of the pulse in that of fever, etc.
The conditions of the pulse should be understood from the equality of faults in the case of diseases and similarity of symptoms of diseases in untold diseases by drawing inferences based on proper reasons. The mixed diseases are to be diagnosed in some cases on the basis of the Gastra or in some cases according to the fitness of things or sometimes according to the place and time.
One becomes fully experienced in the knowledge of the science of pulse by practices with deep concentration of mind.
Besides these litrary contributions, Nadiprakasam throws light upon the previous work on the science of pulse Nadivijnanam of Maharsi Kanada by profusely quoting verses from his work in this treatise.
In regard to the language, metre and style as discussed in the Introduction, they represent an age different from the present in which the author imparted the teachings on the science of pulse to his followers, in particular to make them intelligible in poetic language with Sanskrit commentaries. The total effect of the texture and spirit of the language of Nadiprakasam enriched with thoughts and ideas on the science of pulse, inspires one to dive deep into its subject matters with more energy
