• A. Tridosha vitiated breast milk
• B. Affliction of Revatigraha
• C. Hereditary factor

Hint:

Kshiralasaka Vyadhi in children is linked to disturbances in the developmental process, often related to Revatigraha, and not just simple factors like teething or hereditary factors.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Kshiralasaka Vyadhi refers to a condition in children where there is a weakness or underdevelopment caused by specific factors. According to Kashyapa, one of the causes of this condition is the affliction of Revatigraha, which refers to disturbances or afflictions related to the reproductive system or early childhood development.
- Tridosha vitiated breast milk is an important factor in many diseases, but it is not specifically linked to Kshiralasaka.
- Hereditary factors can play a role in various diseases, but Kshiralasaka Vyadhi is more specifically linked to the affliction of Revatigraha.
- Eruption of teeth can lead to discomfort in children but is not directly associated with Kshiralasaka Vyadhi. Thus, the correct answer is (2) Affliction of Revatigraha.
