Question

According to Ashtanga Hridaya, complete the given sloka "__________ अरोणता।"

• A. Dosha Vaishamyam
• B. Dosha Samyam
• C. Dosha satmyam
• D. Dosha Vega

Hint:

The balance (Dosha Samyam) of the three doshas is key for maintaining health, as emphasized in Ayurvedic texts.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

In Ashtanga Hridaya, the phrase "Dosha Samyam Arohanta" is used, where Dosha Samyam refers to the balanced state of doshas (Vata, Pitta, and Kapha). This balance is crucial for maintaining health.
- Dosha Vaishamyam refers to imbalance or vitiation of the doshas, leading to diseases.
- Dosha Satmyam refers to the suitability of the doshas, but not directly linked to the statement.
- Dosha Vega refers to the movements of doshas. Thus, the correct completion of the sloka is Dosha Samyam.
