नाडीनां त्रिविधं ज्ञेयं वातपित्तकफात्मकम् । तासां साम्यं स्वास्थ्यहेतुर्वैषम्यं रोगकारणम् ॥
nāḍīnāṃ trividhaṃ jñeyaṃ vātapittakaphātmakam | tāsāṃ sāmyaṃ svāsthyahetur vaiṣamyaṃ rogakāraṇam ||
The nadis are of three kinds—vata, pitta and kapha; their balance is the cause of health and their imbalance the cause of disease.
राशेर्द्विशतं भागा नाड्यंशा इति कथ्यते । तालपत्रेषु लिखिताः कर्मफलविशारदाः ॥
rāśer dviśataṃ bhāgā nāḍyaṃśā iti kathyate | tālapatreṣu likhitāḥ karmaphalaviśāradāḥ ||
Each sign is divided into two hundred parts called nadi-amshas; inscribed on palm leaves are the records that are expert in the fruits of karma.
नाड्यां लिखितमेवेह देहिनां पूर्वकर्मणः । फलं ग्रहैः समीर्यन्ते ज्ञेयं कर्मानुरूपकम् ॥
nāḍyāṃ likhitameveha dehināṃ pūrvakarmaṇaḥ | phalaṃ grahaiḥ samīryante jñeyaṃ karmānurūpakam ||
What embodied souls have done in previous births is verily written in the nadis; its fruit is weighed out by the planets and should be known as according to karma.
