Adhyaśana (अध्यशन) refers to “taking meal on meal”, and is mentioned in the 10th century Yogaśataka written by Pandita Vararuci.—The Yogaśataka of Pandita Vararuci is an example of this category. This book attracts reader by its very easy language and formulations which can be easily prepared and have small number of herbs. It describes only those formulations which are the most common and can be used in majority conditions of diseases (viz., Adhyaśana).

Causes for provocation of Vāta, Pitta and Kapha is described in 88-90 stanzas lucidly. Adhyaśana (taking meal on meal)is among Vāta provocative factors while Viṣamāśana (irregularity in quantity and time of meal) is among Pitta provocative factors.
