(6) The movement of the pulse due to three combined faults (vata, pitta, and slesma) is like that of Lavapaksi (a quail), Tittira (francoline partridge), varttaka (duck). Sometimes the pulse is slow-going, sometimes it becomes fast, etc.

(7) The pulse becomes fast or accelerated by (due to) sexual passion and anger; it becomes feeble in the case of a person having thought and fear. The pulse of a person, having inflamed fire, flows as lightly (laghvi) and is known to be forceful (strong).
