We shall now expound Rajayaksmadi nidana-diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis etc; thus said Atreya and other great sages.
Rajayakshma
अथ राजयक्ष्मनिदानम् ।
अनेकरोगानुगतो बहुरोगपुरोगमः ।
राजयक्ष्मा क्षयः शोषो रोगराडिति च स्मृतः ॥ १ ॥
Follower of many diseases and leader of many others, Rajayaksman is known also as ksaya, sosa and rogarat. 1.
नक्षत्राणां द्विजानां च राज्ञोऽभूद्यदयं पुरा । यच्च राजा च यक्ष्मा च राजयक्ष्मा ततो मतः ॥ २ ॥
देहौषधक्षयकृतेः क्षयस्तत्सम्भवाच्च सः |
रसादिशोषणाच्छोषो रोगराट् तेषु राजनात् ॥ ३ ॥
Since it affected the king of the stars (the moon) and the twice born (brahmanas) long back (in the previous aeon) and since it is the king of yaksmas (disease syndromes) it is called Rajayaksma. Because it leads to loss/depletion of the body and of medicines (because) of its persistence for long time in the body) and also because it is the cause of many disease (which cause depletion of the body and medicines) it is called Ksaya. It is Sora, because it produces depltion (drying up, diminition or loss) of rasa and others ( dhatus / tissues) and Rogarat king of disease-since it reigns (overpowers, subdues, controls) over them. 2-3.
Nidana (causes )
साहसं वेगसंरोध: शुक्रौज: स्नेहसङ्क्षयः । अन्नपानविधित्यागश्चत्वारस्तस्य हेतवः ॥ ४ ॥
Exertion, suppression of the urges (of urine, faeces, flatus etc.) loss of sukra, (semen), ojas, (essence of the tissues) and sneha (unctuousness, lubricating material of the tissues) and avoidance of proper regimen of food and drink-these four are its causes.
Samprapti (pathogenesis )
तैरुदीर्णोऽनिलः पित्तं कफं चोदीर्य सर्वतः । शरीरसन्धीनाविश्य तान् सिराश्च प्रपीडयन् ॥ ५ ॥
मुखानि स्त्रोतसां रुवा तथैवातिविवृत्य वा । सर्पन्नूर्ध्वमधस्तिर्यग्यथास्वं जनयेद्गदान् ॥ ६ ॥
Aggravated by these (causes), anila (vata) produces increases of both pitta and kapha, spreads to all the joints of the body and the siras (veins and other channels of rasa) ramified upwards, downwards, and sidewards, either obstructing (constriction ) or greatly dilating their mouth (lumen) and gives rise to the disease. 5-6.
Purvariupa (premonitary symptoms )
रूपं भविष्यतस्तस्य प्रतिश्यायो भृशं क्षवः । प्रसेको मुखमाधुर्यं सदनं वह्निदेहयोः ॥ ७ ॥
स्थाल्यमत्रान्नपानादौ शुचावप्यशुचीक्षणम् । मक्षिकातृणकेशादिपातः प्रायोऽन्नपानयोः ॥ ८ ॥
हृल्लासश्छर्दिररुचिरश्नतोऽपि बलक्षय | पाण्योरवेक्षा पादास्यशोफोऽक्ष्णोरतिशुक्लता ॥ ९ ॥
बाह्वोः प्रमाणजिज्ञासा काये बैभत्स्यदर्शनम् । स्त्रीमद्यमांसप्रियता घृणित्वं मूर्द्धगुण्ठनम् ॥ १० ॥
नखकेशातिवृद्धिश्च स्वप्ने चाभिभवो भवेत् । पतङ्गकृकलासाहिकपिश्वापदपक्षिभिः केशास्थितुषभस्मादिराशौ समधिरोहणम् । शून्यानां ग्रामदेशानां दर्शनं शुष्यतोऽम्भसः ॥ १२ ॥
ज्योतिर्गिरीणां पततां ज्वलतां च महीरुहाम् । ॥११॥

Rupa (clinical features)
पीनसश्वासकासांसमूर्द्धस्वररुजोऽरुचिः ऊर्ध्वं, विड्भ्रंशसंशोषावधः, च्छर्दिश्च कोष्ठगे । तिर्यवस्थे पार्श्वरुग्दोषे, सन्धिगे भवति ज्वरः ॥ १४ ॥ रूपाण्येकादशैतानि जायन्ते राजयक्ष्मिणः ।
Nasal catarrh, dyspnoea, cough, pain in the shoulders and head, change of voice, loss of taste (and appetite) are the upward symptoms (appearing when the dosas are localised in the upper parts of the body); either more elimination of feaces or constipation are the downwards (when the dosas are lacalised in the lower parts); vomitting when the dosas are in the alimentary tract; pain in the flanks when the dosas are localised sidewards; fever, when localised in the joints-these eleven form the characteristic features of rajayaksman. 13b-15a.
Upadrava (secondory diseases)
तेषामुपद्रवान् विद्यात्कण्ठोद्ध्वंसमुरोरुजम् ॥ १५ ॥ 1 जृम्भाङ्गमर्दनिष्ठीववह्निसादास्यपूतिताः
Their Upadrava (secondary affections, complications) are-abnormalities of the throat, pain in the chest, too much of yawning, bodyache, expectoration of sputum, weakness of digestive activity, and bad smell of the mouth. 15b-16a.
तत्र वाताच्छिरः पार्श्वशूलमंसाङ्गमर्दनम् ॥ १६ ॥
कण्ठोद्ध्वंसः स्वरभ्रंशः पित्तात्पादांसपाणिषु । दाहोऽतिसारोऽसृक्छर्दिर्मुखगन्धो ज्वरो मदः ॥ १७॥
कफादरोचकश्छर्दिः कासो मूर्द्धाङ्गगौरवम् । प्रसेकः पीनसः श्वासः स्वरसादोऽल्पवह्निता ॥ १८ ॥
From vata (are produced) pain in the head and flanks, aches in the shoulders and body, abnormalities of the throat and hoarseness; from pitta ( are produced) burning sensation in the soles, shoulders and palms, diarrhoea, vomitting of blood, bad smell in the mouth, fever and toxicity; from kapha ( are produced) loss of taste ( and appetite), vomitting, cough, feeling of heavyness of the head and body, excess of salivation, nasal catarrh, dyspnoea, weakness of voice and poor digestive activity. 16b-18.
दोषैर्मन्दानलत्वेन सोपलेपैः कफोल्वणैः ।
स्रोतोमुखेषु रुद्धेषु धातूष्मस्वल्पकेषु च ॥ १९ ॥
विदह्यमानः स्वस्थाने रसस्तांस्तानुपद्रवान् । कुर्यादगच्छन्मांसादीनसृक् चोर्ध्वं प्रधावति ॥ २० ॥
पच्यते कोष्ठ एवान्नमन्त्रपक्त्वै चास्य यत् । प्रायोऽस्मान्मलतां यातं नैवालं धातुपुष्टये ॥ २१ ॥
रसोऽप्यस्य न रक्ताय मांसाय कुत एव तु ।
उपस्तब्धः स शकृता केवलं वर्तते क्षयी ॥ २२ ॥
The dosas, among which kapha is predominant, produce weakness of the digestive fire, because the mouths of the channels (lumen of the channel of rasa) are coated and so are obstructed; the fire in the tissues (metabolic heat ) being poor, the rasa undergoes improper cooking and remaining in its own place produces the various complications. Without leading to the formation of the mamsa (muscle and other tissues) etc. it makes for upward movement of rakta (blood coming out along with sputum). The food not getting digested properly by the digestive fire in the alimentary tract gives rise to more of wastes and less for the nourishment of the dhatus (other tissues ) ; when rasa ( essence, nutrient portion ) is insufficient for rakta (blood, the second dhatu) itself, where is it for mamsa ( muscle, the third dhatu ) ; the patient of ksaya is sustained by strength of the feaces only. 19-22.
Sadhyasadhyata ( prognosis)
लिङ्गेष्वल्पेष्वपि क्षीणं व्याधौषधबलाक्षमम् । वर्जयेत् साधयेदेव सर्वेष्वपि ततोऽन्यथा ॥ २३ ॥ इति राजयक्ष्मनिदानम् ।
Though the symptoms are few and mild, if the patient is emaciated and unable to withstand the stength of the disease and the therapies, such a patient should not be treated. The patient who is otherwise (not emaciated and capable of withstanding the strength of the disease and the therapies) should be treated though having all the symptoms. 23.

या च पानातिपानोत्था, तीक्ष्णाग्ने स्नेहजा च या । स्निग्धगुर्वम्ललवणभोजनेन कफोद्भवा ॥ ५६ ॥
Amaja trsna arises from vatapitta, due to abstruction to food (fasting starvation, or inability to consume food due to any cause).
Trsna occurs in the person who has become exhausted by exposure to heat (sunlight, fire etc.), taking bath in cold water immediately; by this the heat obstructed (from coming out) gets into the abdomen and causes thirst; it is born from (aggravation of) pitta itself (so has the same symptoms as enumerated under pittaja).
So also, thirst is produced by too much of drinking of wines and the thirst produced by too much of eating of fatty foods, by persons who have very powerful digestive activity (both these are pittaja only).
Thirst produced by too much indulgence in foods which are unctuous (fatty), indigestable, sour and salt taste is caused by kapha. 54b-56.
तृष्णा रसक्षयोक्तेन लक्षणेन क्षयात्मिका ।
Thirst produced by loss of rasa (plasma) will have the symptoms enumerated under rasaksaya (vide, chapter 11 of sutrasthana). 57a.
