It is one of the
methods from the second triad described in Trividh
Pariksha for the assessment of diseases.
Sometimes the physician is unable to diagnose
a disease by direct observation. In that case, he
considers the following indirect factors to diagnose
the disease:
- Digestive fire is determined by the patient's
power of digestion.
- Strength is determined by capacity for
exercise.
- Sense organs by their clarity of perception.
- Mind by the power of concentration.
- Understanding by the purposeful nature of
action.
- Passion by the strength of attachment.
- Infatuation by the lack of
understanding.
- Anger from the actions of violence.
- Grief by despondency.
- Joy by exhilaration.
- Pleasure from the sense of satisfaction.
- Intelligence by the power of comprehension.
- Memory by the power of recollection.
- Character by conduct.
- Aversion by refusal.
- Age prediction.
- Diseases with latent symptoms by testing with
therapeutic or provocative medication.
After correctly diagnosing the diseases by the
aid of one or all the factors of the triads, the
physician should formulate his opinion first
regarding the nature of the diseases and next
regarding the line of treatment. The learned
physician who is unable to win his way into the
patient's heart by the light of his scientific
understanding is not entitled to treat.
