Any karma first arises in the mind and accordingly the action takes place. Similarly, pain manifests itself first in mental form and then in physical medium, which can be termed as ‘Vyadhi’. Such various Vyadhis may be known or unknown. In the classical texts of Ayurveda, which is the part of Atharvaveda, The available literature on ‘Karmaj Vyadhi’ and other than Hinduism is available.
