Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

The term ‘Mahagadam Mahavegamagnivachhigrakari’ is used by Charaka to describe Rakta Pitta, a condition characterized by severe, intense symptoms related to Pitta dosha. The phrase refers to the aggravation of Pitta that leads to symptoms such as excessive heat, intense burning sensations, and redness often found in conditions like Rakta Pitta (a bleeding disorder associated with excessive Pitta in the body). This description is not used in the context of Gulma, Visarpa, or Apasmara. Thus, the correct answer is (3) Rakta pitta.
