Virdidha
vyakya-(definition
of
viruddha)
Any
thing
that
causes
aggravation
(increase)
of the
dosas
but does
not
expel
them out
of the
body is
(called)
viruddha
(incompatible).
The
treatment
desirable
for it
(troubles
arising
from
consuming
of
incompatable
foods)
is
either
purifactory
therapies
(emesis,
purgation
etc.) or
palliative
therapies,
opposite
of their
nature
(specific
for the
diseases).
The body
should
be
reconditioned
as
earlier,
by use
of
substances
(foods,
drugs
etc.) of
the same
nature
(in
other
words
substances
possessing
properties
opposite
of the
aggravated
dosas ).
Foods
though
incompatible
do not
produce
diseases,
in those
who are
habituated
to
exercise
(physical
activity)
and
fatty
foods,
who have
strong
digestive
power,
who are
of age
(adult
age) and
who are
strong;
so also
those
foods
(though
incompatible)
which
have
become
accustomed
(by long
use) and
which
have
been
consumed
iii very
little
quantity.
Satmyaa

Unhealthy
things
(foods,
drinks,
activities)
which
have
become
accustomed
(by long
use)
should
be
discontinued
by
quarter
and
quarter
(gradually),
similarly
healthy
things
(foods
etc.)
should
be made
use of
(gradually)
with
intervals
of one,
two or
three
days.
Discontinuance
of
unhealthy
things
(foods,
drinks
etc.)
and
indulgence
in
healthy
things,
done
suddenly
and
(also)
other
wise
(improperly)
give
rise to
(become
causes
of)
diseases
of
satmya
(habituation)
and
(non-habituation).
The
above
statement
cart be
explained
as
follows
:-a
person
who has
been
drinking
wine
which is
unsuitable
to
health
will
have
become
accustomed
to it
due to
long use
If he
discontinues
drinking
suddenly,
he will
become a
victim
of
diseases
caused
by
discontinuance
(withdrawal
) of
satmya
(accustomed);
similarly,
a person
who is
not
accustomed
to milk
which is
suitable
for
health,
starts
drinking
it
suddenly,
becomes
a victim
of
diseases
of
indulgence
in
sawãtmya
(unaccustomed
material).
The bad
effects
diminished
gradually
and the
good
effects
increased
gradually,
attain
(the
state
of)
non-recurrence
and
become
stable.
Bad
effects
get
diminished
by
gradual
discontinuance
of
unhealthy
food,
drinks,
etc.,
and good
effects
increase
by
indulgence
of
unhealthy
things.
In
course
of time,
both
become
stable
and do
not
revere
back to
their
earlier
condition
again.
A wise
man, by
indulging
in
unhealthy
things,
should
not help
the
vitiating
factors
which
have
become
very
intimate
and
(thereby)
vitiate
the body
greatly.Unhealthy
things
though
accustomed
to the
body by
long use
and
though
very
intimately
associated
are
still
useful,
as long
as they
are
continued.
They
cause
greater
harm
when
combined
with
other
unhealthy
things.
So a
wise man
desirous
of
health
should
not only
discontinue
the
already
accustomed
unhealthy
things
but also
avoid
indulgence
in other
unhealthy
things.
