Ayurveda (science of life)
Source: archive.org: Vagbhata’s Ashtanga Hridaya Samhita (first 5 chapters)Śarīrajadoṣa (शरीरजदोष) refers to “somatogenic disease”, and is mentioned in verse 1.25 of the Aṣṭāṅgahṛdayasaṃhitā (Sūtrasthāna) by Vāgbhaṭa.—The words śarīrajadoṣa must here be understood, both as “bodily humour” and as “somatogenic disease”: in their primary meaning “bodily humour” they depend on krameṇa and refer to the sequence vāyu–pitta–kapha in v.6; in their secondary meaning “somatogenic disease” they belong to param auṣadham and contrast with manodosa in v.26. The Tibetans proceed eclectically, adopting the latter connotation but retaining the former construction.
