Question

According to Charak, 'अनुपक्ष्य' is said in the context of which of the following Yonivyapada? Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

• A. Mahayoni
• B. Shandhi
• C. Sannipatika
• D. Vamini

Hint:

In Ayurveda, Shandhi refers to dysfunction or obstructions in the reproductive system, and 'अनुपक्ष्य' is used to describe such conditions of imbalance.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

According to Charak, the term 'अनुपक्ष्य' refers to a condition where the doshas are in a state of imbalance and can lead to a specific type of Yonivyapada. In this case, Shandhi is the correct answer, as it refers to a condition of obstruction or dysfunction of the reproductive system, which is the context in which 'अनुपक्ष्य' is used.
- Mahayoni refers to a condition involving the uterus or reproductive organs but is not directly linked to the term 'अनुपक्ष्य'.
- Sannipatika refers to a combination of doshas causing a variety of disorders but is not specific to 'अनुपक्ष्य'.
- Vamini refers to conditions related to vomiting, not directly associated with the term 'अनुपक्ष्य' in the context of Yonivyapada. Thus, the correct answer is (2) Shandhi.
