Āvaraniya-madhyayam (आवरणीय-मध्ययम्, “Incurable diseases”). The diseases which being attended with many a distressing and supervenient symptom, and being treated without rejuvenating and restorative medicines, speedily assume incurable character.

The following eight diseases, viz:—

1. Maha-Vāta-vyādhi (paralysis or diseases affecting the nervous system in general),
2. Prameha (morbid discharges from the urethra),
3. Kushtha,
4. Arsha (piles),
5. Vagandara (fistula in ano),
6. Ashmari (stone in the bladder),
7. Mudha-garbha (false presentations)
8. and the eight kinds of Udari (abdominal dropsy)

are, by their very nature, extremely hard to cure. A physician with any regard to professional success should abandon a patient laid up with any of the preceding diseases, marked by complications such as, emaciation of the body, loss of strength, dyspnoea, palpitation, wasting, vomiting, dysentery and hiccough, fever and swoon.

In Jainism

General definition (in Jainism)

Source: Google Books: Jaina Scriptures and Philosophy

According to Jaini 1998: 105:

It is important to note here that bliss is the only quality of the soul which can truly be defiled, that is, transformed into something of a different nature; other qualities can only be “obscured” or “blocked” (āvṛta) by so-called obscuring (āvaraṇīya) karmas.

context information

Jainism is an Indian religion of Dharma whose doctrine revolves around harmlessness (ahimsa) towards every living being. The two major branches (Digambara and Svetambara) of Jainism stimulate self-control (or, shramana, ‘self-reliance’) and spiritual development through a path of peace for the soul to progess to the ultimate goal.

context information

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!).
