Mythological aspect:

When the churning of ocean (Samudra Manthana) was carried out by Gods and demons to get the nectar / ambrosia; there evolved the frightful man (Ghora Purusha) before evolution of nectar.

After looking at him, the entire world turned in to sorrowful state (Vishan`n`a). He was shining brightly, was having four large teeth. The colour of his hairs was reddish brown (Pingala). His eyes was of fire (Anila Ikshan`a). This Purusha was called as Visha, as he made entire creatures sorrowful / depressed.

Thus, the Visha, literally called as poison, is having aquatic origin (Ambu Sambhava).

This Visha was directed in to two types as its origin

1. Jangama (coming from living beings)
2. Sthaavara (any stationary or inanimate object, plant kingdom)

Visha manifests with

1. Asht`avega (effect of poison in eight stages)
2. Das`hagun`a (having 10 qualities)
3. Chaturvims`hati Upakrama (24 procedures to pacify Visha)

As explained earlier, being aquatic in origin, the Visha becomes more powerful in rainy season (Varshaa Ritu). Whereas in autumn (S`harad Ritu) due to upcoming of the star Agasti, the strength of Visha decreases.
