स० – Aruṇadatta’s sarvāṅga sundara || {1} ‘rāgādi’ is to be taken as all kinds of mental states which “fevers” the mind. Since it causes existential suffering, either only in the mind or also in the body, it is to be taken as a root/fundamental cause for all kinds of diseases. | {2} just like iron balls in a vessel with frying oil gets incandescent, the heat/disturbance in the mind coming from rāgādi to the body disturbs the proper functioning of the body. | {3} ‘satata_anuṣaktāḥ’ is that which stay always going on within a life AND from one life to other. ‘aśeṣa_kāya_prasṛtāḥ’ is either all parts of a body (tatra prasṛtā anugatāḥ)  [when we take as tatpuruṣasamāsaḥ] AND/OR as that which spreads in different creatures like elephant, horse, snake etc [when we take as dvandvasamāsaḥ] | {4} ‘aśeṣāḥ’ means that which does not have left anything behind, in this case representing an all comprehensive condition; ‘autsukya_moha_aratidāḥ’ is an [usually] incurable condition where restlessness + lack of discrimination in what is dharmic and what is not + apathy are prowling around. | {5} To the unparalleled healer who is uniquely capable of curing incurable diseases we humbly salute his greatness. | {6} Not only uniquely capable of curing incurable diseases, all other diseases are revealed and healed without delay with assurance and effectiveness. | {7} Being so incredibly powerful and incomparable among past-present-future, we worship such magnificence as the first sentences of this text in order to be illuminated on how to handle diseases. | {8} Just as Sage Charaka expressed dhātu_sāmya_kriyā [homeostasis of the body] as the purpose of his treatise, this organon text is aimed on the promotion of health on a wide sense scope in order to include spiritual dimensions too: more than bodily and mental welness, further into spiritual upliftment. | {9} Along with Charaka’s skandhatraya ‘hetu_liṅga_auṣadha’ concept, Vāgbhaṭa brings huge hue to the importance of protection & restoration of health towards paving spiritual upliftment. | {10} So that this well developed text is also to be easily remembered, it is composed in anuṣṭup chandas (8 syllables times 2, then one line with 16 syllables times 2 forming a 32 syllables śloka) to be friendly to memorize it. ||

आ० र० – Hemadri's āyurveda rasāyana || {{1}} The very 1st starting śloka by excelsius Vāgbhaṭa teacher, who endeavours to explain about āyurveda, is to praise to the prefered deity as the unparalleled, incomparable, extremely powerful one physician that is capable to heal all types of diseases of all sorts. | {{2}} Those diseases are rāga & company where the clean and peaceful state of mind gets polluted by rajas and tamas. The foundational base of (that) rāga are unsatisfied craving and unconscious complaining and other mental states known as ‘ṣaḍripus’. | {{3}} Just like in the body jvara is a foundational starting point for all diseases, in the mind rāga is the same: continuously going from one (encarnacion) to another, in all lifetimes, being taken together over and over. | {{4}} The main difference from rāga to jvāra is that when the body dies the latter dies with it, but the latter is carried along to further incarnations. | {{5}} So, every state that we are born in this lifetime is also related to previous lifetimes that are carried over throughout lifetimes (not only to be explained within present fecundation, gestation and so on. | {{6}} In that way, from the philosophical standpoint where there is always a pre-existing cause to provoke an effect, the ultimate cure for all ailments (traceable or unfathomable) has to incorporate the spiritual dimension of uniting to the subtler state of consciousness [ātmanaḥ samarpayanti]. | {{7}} All subjective unsettled diseased states such as autsukya, in all living beings, at all times, provoked directly by oneself or by supernatural powers comes from a disturbed connection with one's inner self – either the diseases over sthūla (physical) body or the diseases over sūkṣma (mental) body . | {{8}} Through the teachings of mokṣa śāstra one should realize how to deeply heal, eradicate those spiritual-mental-physical ailments. When taken within the supreme consciousness-self principle, the non tangible karmic enemies like kāma krodha etc can be properly eliminated not reborn.
