Anupaśaya (अनुपशय) refers to “factors antagonistic to upaśaya—relieving factors”, according to the Jvaranirṇaya: an Ayurvedic manuscript dealing exclusively with types of jvara (fevers) written by Sri Nārāyaṇa Paṇḍita in the 16th century CE.—The Upotghāta-prakaraṇa is the introductory section of the manuscript which deals with the evaluation of the disease with the help of six evaluating factors (ṣaḍnidāna) emphasising upaśaya (relieving factors). [...] There is a mention of anupaśaya (factors antagonistic to upaśaya), as the sixth cause (nidāna)—“śaṣto anupaśayam”.
