Question

Which of the following is also called as "Swatantra, Vyaktalinga (स्वतंत्र, व्यक्तलिंग) vyadhi"? Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

• A. Anubandha
• B. Prakrut
• C. Anubandhya
• D. Vaikrut

Hint:

In Ayurveda, diseases classified as Anubandhya are those that manifest clearly and independently, often linked to imbalances or disturbances in the body’s internal systems.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

In Ayurveda, the term "Swatantra, Vyaktalinga vyadhi" refers to diseases that are independent and manifest with clear, specific signs (Vyaktalinga). These conditions are referred to as Anubandhya (अनुबन्ध्य), meaning they arise as a result of a cause or association, but they are specific in their manifestation.
- Anubandha refers to the connection or relationship between cause and effect, but not a specific disease manifestation.
- Prakrut refers to the natural state of something, often related to the constitution of an individual.
- Vaikrut refers to diseases or disturbances caused by irregularities in the doshas, which are more complex and not always independently manifested. Thus, the correct answer is (3) Anubandhya.
