SAMPRAPTI
OF PRAMEHA
• Aggravated kapha vitiates medas, mamsa and kleda
of the body located in basti and causes different
types of kapha dominant meha.
• Similarly, pitta aggravated by hot things vitiates
those elements and causes different types
of pitta dominant meha.
• When other two doshas are in a relatively
diminished state, the aggravated vata draws tissues
elements (viz. ojas, majja, and lasika) into the
urinary tract and vitiates them to
cause vata dominant pramehas.
• Different doshas having entered the urinary tract in
vitiated condition give rise to the respective types
of meha with their own dominance
