Abstract
Nidana
Pakshaghat is considered as a Vatavyadhi by Brihat trayee and Laghu trayee. Kashyapa is the Laghu trayee. Kashyapa is the only authority mentioned it among the “Asheethi Vathika Rogas”
Sushrutha’s Samprapthi narrates that there are associated doshas, but Vata is considered as the Principle dosha responsible for the consalion of the disease.
Specific causative factors are not stated for Pakshaghat. As such the general Vatavyadhi nidanas and Vata Prakopa karanas are to be considered as Nidan factors. However a specific Nidan has been mentioned for Pakshaghat is Kashay Ras Adhika Sevans
