Though above both happiness and misery, it is thus that he subjects himself to happiness and misery. It is thus also that, though above all discases, the Soul considers himself to be afflicted by headache, opthalmia, toothache, affections of the throat, abdominal dropsy, burning thirst, enlargement of glands, cholera, vitiligo, leprosy, burns, asthma, phthisis, epilepsy, and various other diseases from which embodied creatures suffer.
द्वन्द्वमेति च निर्द्वन्द्वस्तासु तास्विह योनिषु। शीर्षरोगेऽक्षिरोगे च दन्तशूले गलग्रहे॥ जलोदरे तृषारोगे ज्वरगण्डे विषूचके। श्वित्रकुष्ठेऽग्निदग्धे च सिध्मापस्मारयोरपि॥ यानि चान्यानि द्वन्द्वानि प्राकृतानि शरीरिषु। उत्पद्यन्ते विचित्राणि तान्येषोऽप्यभिमन्यते॥
