१ प्रकुपितवातजनाडीलक्षणम्
२ प्रकुपितपित्तजनाडीलक्षणम्
For कोपतः can we say from the increase of, in the sense that कोप is anger or passion, so from the raising of? Is that right?
Normally the 'ja' ending like anuja means born of. So we can say the high speed or short burst is born of/result of?
Ans: Absolutely!
कुप् can mean [to be] moved, agitated, excited [hence faster], heave and much more.
४ द्विदोषजनाडीलक्षणम् | => Two dOShAs
Important one this: => ५ असाध्यनाडीलक्षणम् |
Q More like that which goes after having stopped recurrently? Like ruk-ruk ke jo chale?

I had an exchange on Twitter with someone for “why” Sanskrit!?
Today, for someone common, Sanskrit is just metaphysics and drama-poetry..
— Hari Tirumalai (@haritirumalai) September 30, 2014
Wait, almost all of Indian-research has been in Sanskrit!

Today, I pick नाडीपरीक्षाविधिः a portion of तृतीयोध्यायः, the 3rd chapter of first-part (संहिता-पूर्व)
— Hari Tirumalai (@haritirumalai) September 30, 2014
नाडीपरीक्षाविधिः - examining the nadis!
Let's begin now ..
Verse #1, नाडी-definition:
करस्याङ्गुष्टमूले या धमनी जीवसाक्षिणी |
तच्चेष्ट्या सुखं दुःखं ज्ञेयं कायस्य पण्डितैः ||
— Hari Tirumalai (@haritirumalai) September 30, 2014
W2W:
करस्य अङ्गुष्टमूले Of the Hand, at end of fingers या which धमनी vein जीवसाक्षिणी life-proof
— Hari Tirumalai (@haritirumalai) September 30, 2014
How was the pulse felt in ancient India? Find out about नाडीपरीक्षाविधिः
>>तच्चेष्ट्या => तत् from whose चेष्ट्या movement सुखं well-being दुःखं unhealthy ज्ञेयं to be known कायस्य of the body पण्डितैः by scholars
— Hari Tirumalai (@haritirumalai) September 30, 2014
Remember, the three दोषा: => कफ-वात-पित्त .. here is how to determine them?!
— Hari Tirumalai (@haritirumalai) September 30, 2014
Isn't अङ्गुष्ट the thumb
@RohiniBakshi Yep or the big-thumb .. अङ्गुष्ठ .. also origin for angooTha :)
— Hari Tirumalai (@haritirumalai) September 30, 2014
१ प्रकुपितवातजनाडीलक्षणम्
१ प्रकुपितवातजनाडीलक्षणम् => प्रकुपित Increased वातज air-generating-particles
नाडी धत्ते मरूत्कोपे जलौकसर्पयोर्गतिम् |
— Hari Tirumalai (@haritirumalai) September 30, 2014
नाडी pulse (to be considered) धत्ते filled with मरूत्कोपे increased air (which feels) जलौकस water-homed/filled पयो: fluid’s र्गतिम् speed
— Hari Tirumalai (@haritirumalai) September 30, 2014
२ प्रकुपितपित्तजनाडीलक्षणम्
२ प्रकुपितपित्तजनाडीलक्षणम् => पित्तज => heat-generating-particle (closely related to bile)
कुलिङ्ग काक मण्डूक गतिं पित्तस्य कोपतः
— Hari Tirumalai (@haritirumalai) September 30, 2014
(Pulse with) गतिं Speed of कुलिङ्ग Sparrow काक Crow मण्डूक Frog (is because of) पित्तस्य pitta’s कोपतः increase |
— Hari Tirumalai (@haritirumalai) September 30, 2014
So now we know:
High speed नाडी => प्रकुपितवातज
And
Short bursts नाडी => प्रकुपितपित्तज
— Hari Tirumalai (@haritirumalai) September 30, 2014
@haritirumalai Is नाडी- धत्ते मरूत्कोपे a sati-saptami? Or saptami of reference?
— Rohini Bakshi (@RohiniBakshi) September 30, 2014
@RohiniBakshi Yes, rightly identified .. like saying --"In" case of filled-with ..
— Hari Tirumalai (@haritirumalai) September 30, 2014
For कोपतः can we say from the increase of, in the sense that कोप is anger or passion, so from the raising of? Is that right?
@RohiniBakshi Raise/Increase is best here :)
— Hari Tirumalai (@haritirumalai) September 30, 2014
Ok moving on ..
३ प्रकुपितकफनाडीलक्षणम् => कफ => phlegm (close to mucus)
हंस पारावत गतिं धत्ते श्लेष्म प्रकोपतः |
— Hari Tirumalai (@haritirumalai) September 30, 2014
That is .. हंस Goose पारावत Pigeon गतिं Speed धत्ते having/filled-with, due to श्लेष्म mucus प्रकोपतः increase
(high speed, long pulses)
— Hari Tirumalai (@haritirumalai) September 30, 2014
Normally the 'ja' ending like anuja means born of. So we can say the high speed or short burst is born of/result of?
Ans: Absolutely!
कुप् can mean [to be] moved, agitated, excited [hence faster], heave and much more.
४ द्विदोषजनाडीलक्षणम् | => Two dOShAs
४ द्विदोषजनाडीलक्षणम् | => Two dOShAs
कदाचिन्मन्दगमना कदाचिद्वेगवाहिनी द्विदोषकोपतो ज्ञेया |
— Hari Tirumalai (@haritirumalai) September 30, 2014
=> ..कदाचिद् Sometimes मन्दगमना slow कदाचिद्वेगवाहिनी sometimes fast ज्ञेया to be known as द्विदोषकोपतो due to two-doShas

स्थित्वास्थित्वा चलति या सा स्मृता प्राणनाशिनी |
अतिक्षीणा च शीता च जीवितं हन्त्यसंशयम् ||
— Hari Tirumalai (@haritirumalai) September 30, 2014
स्थित्वा to-stop स्थित्वा to-stop & चलति goes (ruk-ruk-ke-chalna)
या which सा that (pulse) स्मृता to know as प्राणनाशिनी life destroying!
— Hari Tirumalai (@haritirumalai) September 30, 2014
@haritirumalai @RohiniBakshi मंद means slow but गमन means moving. So the complete meaning should be "slow moving".
— Say More Harsh (@UhSumLadenBin) September 30, 2014
Contd ..अतिक्षीणा very diminished च and शीता च cold as well जीवितं life हन्त्यसंशयम् => हन्ति असंशयम् will kill, no doubt!
— Hari Tirumalai (@haritirumalai) September 30, 2014
Q More like that which goes after having stopped recurrently? Like ruk-ruk ke jo chale?
@haritirumalai This is so amazing..I can visualise a ECG report - same concept na? Just that its heart not hand pulse
— અમી (@6amiji) September 30, 2014
These are just a few types described. Many more in शार्ङ्गधर संहिता. BTW, this was 13th century!
