Sannipātajvara (सन्निपातज्वर) refers to “fever caused due to the vitiation of all the three Doṣas”, 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 uniqueness of the text is that one can get a comprehensive classification, symptomatology and diagnosis of jvara, all at one place in this text. The context of fever caused due to the vitiation of all the three doṣas (sannipātajvara) is elaborated in great detail and dealt exclusively as a separate chapter. [...]
