• B. Arochaka
• C. Mutrakricchra
• D. Mutraghata

Hint:

For urinary stone-related issues, conditions like Basti Pida, Arochaka, and Mutrakricchra are early signs, but Mutraghata (obstruction in urination) is not typically categorized as a Purva Rupa of Ashmari.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Ashmari, also known as urinary stones or calculi, has specific Purva Rupa (early signs or prodromal symptoms) mentioned in Sushruta Samhita. According to Sushruta, the Purva Rupa of Ashmari include conditions that precede the formation of stones and are associated with urinary tract disturbances.
- Basti Pida: Refers to pain or discomfort in the bladder, a typical precursor of Ashmari.
- Arochaka: Refers to anorexia or loss of appetite, which can also occur in Ashmari.
- Mutrakricchra: This refers to difficult or painful urination, a common precursor of urinary stone formation (Ashmari).
- Mutraghata: This refers to obstruction in urination, which is not considered a Purva Rupa of Ashmari according to Sushruta. Therefore, the correct answer is Mutraghata as it is not considered a Purva Rupa of Ashmari.
