Abhighataja – due to external injury

Abhishangaja – due to excess lust, anger, grief, poison, etc

Abhicharaja – Due to evil tantric rituals

The Jwara caused by the injury of

Shastra – weapons,

Loshtaka – stone, hunter,

Shaka – wood,

Mushti – fist, sole of the palm, teeth and such other factors.

By this injury, Vata vitiates blood resulting in pain, swelling, discoloration and painful fever.

2. Abhicharja –

The Jwara caused by the contact of the poisonous air of the toxic plants and such other toxins. This type of Jwara gets cured by the administration of antidotes of these poisons.

Abhicharaja fever occurs due to evil deeds and evil tantric rituals. It has Sannipata (aggravation of all the three Doshas).

3. Abhishapaja-

Abhishapaja is due to curse. It has Sannipata (aggravation of all the three Doshas). In both the above types, all the features of Sannipata Jwara can be appreciated. Mind, sense organs and body are affected.

Several signs and symptoms caused by the afflication of mind, sense organs an body are also manifested. Abhicaraja and Abhisapaja types of Jwara can be determined from the following:

1. By the direct observation of the performance of evil tantric ritual (Abhicara) and curse (Abhishapa)

2. By hearing from others about it

3. By inference (Anumana) and

4. By the alleviation of Jwara after counteracting their effects.

4. Abhisangaja –

The Jwara caused by the affliction of passion, grief, fear, anger and evil spirits including germs.

Abhishangaja jwara occurs due to –

Kama – lust

Shoka – grief

Bhaya – fear

Krodha – anger,

Bhuta – evil spirits, micro organisms

Visha – toxins

Due to lust, grief and fear, Vata increases. Due to anger, Pitta aggravates, due

to Bhuta (evil spirits / microbes), all the Three Doshas aggravate.

Vishaja Abhishangaja Jwara can occur due to touch or consumption of toxic plants, toxic air, and toxic animals.

Different types of Abhishangaja Jwara:

In Kama Abhishangaja Jwara, due to excess lust, patient will have

Dhyana – excessive thoughts, restless

Nishwasa – excess breathing

a. In Gandhaja jwara,due to inhalation of smell

b. In Kamaja jwara, due to lust excessive

c. In Shoka Abhishangaja Jwara, due to grief, crying spells are seen.

d. In Bhaya Jwara, due to fever, excess tiredness is seen

e. In Krodhaja Jwara, Pitta symptoms such as redness of face is seen.

f. In Bhuta Jwara – due to evil spirits /microbes, varied symptoms are observed.

g. In Visha Jwara –

Murcha – unconsciousness,

Moha – confusion

Mada – intoxication

Glani – excess tiredness of sense organs are seen.

In some of these Jwaras, they appear first and then the signs and symptoms of Kama (passion) etc. are manifested, and in others, it happens the other way.

The specific features of Kama (passion) etc. described in the present context of Jwara are also manifested in other diseases (like Unmada or insanity) caused by these factors.

In Kama Jwara etc. the mind is first afflicted by passion etc. but Jwara does not gain strength till such time as the Doshas viz, Vayu etc of the body are not vitiated. Similarly, vitiation of Vayu etc. in the body does not gain power for the production of Jwara till such time as the mind is not afflicted by Kama (passion) etc.

(The Agantuja Jwaras caused by external factors are in the beginning independent, manifest individual independent signs and symptoms based on cause (fear, anger etc).

Subsequently, they get mixed up with the signs and symptoms of Nija (endogenous) types of Jwara. However, these Agantu Jwaras have their own specific etiological factors and medicines.)
