Dear Matthew,
See also Siddhasāra of Ravigupta 1.10: teṣāṁ samatvam ārogyaṁ,
kṣayavṛddhī viparyayaḥ.
See also Pramāṇavārttika 2.55 (in PVA’s numbering; otherwise 54): mṛte
samīkṛte doṣe.
Best wishes,
Eli
Zitat von Matthew Kapstein via INDOLOGY <[email protected]>:
I thank all of you who quickly referred me to
Suśrutasaṃhitā 1.15.44. I am fairly certain that your
suggestion that this is what my text alludes to is correct - it
perfectly fits
the context,
Once again, the Indology list proves to be one of the invaluable
resources in our field!

A literal translation would be "one who possesses balanced doṣas,
digestive fire and dhātus."

The compound samadoṣāgnidhātubhṛt refers to the Āyurvedic
concepts, namely, doṣa ( = tridoṣa - kapha, pitta, vāta); agni (=
jāṭharāgni, digestive fire) and the seven dhātus (rasa, rakta,
māṃsa, medas, asthi, majjā and śukra / ārtava). The compound means
"one whose doṣas, digestive fire and dhātus are balanced." Perhaps
Dominik or Dagmar Wujastyk can throw more light on these concepts.

Dear Nagaraj,
I was hoping that the specialists in Ayurveda might be able to respond.
I thought of that, too, but as my knowledge in that area is very
limited - almost nothing in fact - I am unable to say more.

Does the dosha of Ayurveda, as Vaata, Pitta and Kapha fit the bill ?
Is there a related context for that before and after ?

Dear friends,
Has anyone ever seen this compound:
samadoṣa or possible śamadoṣa
meaning something like: the faults (or humours) being
equalized, or allayed ?
It is part of a longer compound referring to a practice of
internal yoga:
samadoṣāgnidhātubhṛt
which should mean something like "maintaining the fire element
in equipoise"
The Tibetan is: mnyam nyid dbyings nas me bzung, "having
grasped the fire from the space/element of equipoise"
It's the use of doṣahere that I find problematic, though that's
what all three of the mss. I am consulting clearly read.
(The text is the Yuddhajayatantra-svarodaya.)
thanks in advance for your suggestions,
Matthew
