A REVIEW ARTICLE - ROLE OF PAPA-KARMA IN VYADHI UTAPATTI Authors: Chambial P And Khandare S*
ABSTRACT
The state where both body and mind are in pain and grief is said to be a state of vyadhi. In
Ayurveda, the classification of vyadhi is explained according to various characters, karmaja
vyadhi in one of them. From the word karma here, we can take the idea regarding the actionpravritti of vak-vocal, mana-mental, and shareera- physical activities. Karma of past life is
also responsible for the causation of some hereditary diseases. Here, Papa- karma, is said to
be the main karana of karmaja vyadhi. Karma did in purva janama is called as daiva
whereas karma did or doing in ihakruta janama is called as purushartha. As Acharya
charaka ,along with other nidana also said papa karma as the nidana of kushta, kilasa(papakriya), udara -roga, agantuja unmada and krimija shiro- roga. We always keep our focus on
common aharaja and viharaja nidana during the diagnosis of diseases. The concept of papa
karma should also get focussed and highlighted.
