Hint:

Memorizing the five types of Pitham and their specific functions helps in better diagnosis and treatment planning in Siddha medicine.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

In the Siddha system, the five types of Pitham (Udal Thathus) play different physiological roles: - Pirasagam is related to skin colour, hence matches with (II). - Alosagam is responsible for vision and lives in the eyes, matching with (III). - Santhigam is responsible for lubrication and function of joints, so it lives in joints, matching with (I). - Pothagam plays a role in digestion and causes taste, thus matching with (IV).
