पित्तं सूर्यो विदधाति कफं चन्द्रः प्रकीर्तितः । वायुं मङ्गलसौम्यौ च एतैर्व्याधिर्निरूप्यते ॥
pittaṃ sūryo vidadhāti kaphaṃ candraḥ prakīrtitaḥ | vāyuṃ maṅgalasaumyau ca etair vyādhir nirūpyate ||
The Sun produces pitta (bile); the Moon is declared as kapha (phlegm); Mars and Mercury produce vāta (wind). By these (the doṣas and their planets) the disease is ascertained.
