| Literary Meaning | M / W – the six seasons |
| Implied Meaning | A year is divided into six seasons as per climatic conditions, three in Aadaana Kaala and other three in Visarga Kaala . They are Varshaa ( rainy season ), S`harada ( autumn ), Hemanta ( winter ), S`his`hira ( dewy season ), Vasanta ( spring ) and Greeshma ( summer ). |
| Elaboration | The changing seasons demand certain changes to be made to the diet and the daily regime as they affect the body invariably. To avoid this interaction being hostile it is advisable to adopt a gradual change in lifestyle during each season. The seasons have a distinct effect on the body constituents. Dosha tend to accumulate, precipitate or aggravate and finally subside in succession in the three seasons. If theses are eliminated during this time the coming year can be free of diseases of these Dosha . Similarly Agni is also affected during each season thus an elaborate dietary regimen is advised which if followed ensures relative freedom from the seasonal diseases. Thus seasonal regimen if adopted correctly guaranties freedom from diseases and results in good health while failure to do so almost certainly leads to some diseases or other. |
