Hint:

Remember to associate the dosha involved (Vata, Pitta, Kapha) with the features such as color and swelling for correctly matching the conditions in Ayurveda.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Let’s review the matching of the types of Ashmari with their respective features:
- Vataj Ashmari: This type of stone is related to the Vata dosha, which causes Testicular Swelling and is also associated with Madhukapuspa Varna (a honey or yellowish color). Hence, the correct match is (A)
- (II).
- Pittaj Ashmari: Related to Pitta dosha, it is associated with Kadambpushpavat (a reddish hue). Therefore, (B) should be matched with (IV).
- Shleshmaj Ashmari: This is related to Kapha dosha. It causes the color Madhu Varna, a pale or whitish color, which is characteristic of this type. Hence, (C) should be matched with (I).
- Shukraj Ashmari: This type of stone, associated with semen or reproductive fluids, is typically related to Madhukapuspa Varna, a yellowish color. Therefore, (D) should be matched with (III). Thus, the correct matching is (A)
-(II), (B)
-(IV), (C)
-(I), (D)
-(III).
