412 cooling measures should be had recourse to to guard against warmth. 31. Nirvachana is the derivation of a term. For example — Áyus (life) is the subject-matter of this work, and a man gets (the means of) Áyus (longevity) from this work and hence it is called Áyurveda. 32. Nidarsana is the term used when the meaning (of a word or sentence) is supported by examples. For example— just as the (digestive) fire in the Koshtha (abdomen) increases in contact with (the local bodily) Váyu, so also an ulcer increases when assisted by the (bodily) Váyu, Pitta and Kapha. 33. Niyoga is the enjoining of something to be done as a duty. For example — only what is beneficial (Pathya) should be taken. 34.

Samuchchaya is the joining (of two or more connected but independent ideas) as such and such. For example — in the group of flesh, (those of) Ena and Harina (two kinds of deer), Láva and Tittira (two kinds of birds) and Sáranga (spotted deer) are the principal ones. 35. Vikalpa is the term used when something is said to be this or that, i. e., when alternatives are used. For example — either meat-soup or Yavágu (gruel) cooked with clarified butter (should be used in such and such a case). 36.

Uhya is the term used when something more can be understood by an intelligent man, though not definitely used. For example — it has been said in the chapter on Anna-pána-vidhi (Chapter XLVI, Sutra-Sthána) that Anna (food) is of four kinds, viz., (1) in the previous para. His meaning is that the word ' ' being not found in the sense referred to in para. 30, the reader is asked to find out a popular example.
