Abstract
In Ayurveda dosha , dushya, mala and disease are similar in children as adult but vitiation of dosha, dushya and mala is somewhat in lesser extent in children as compared to adult. Thus, disease arise in children is not as aggressive and complicated as in adult. Therefore, it is very difficult to make diagnosis of disease. Acharya Kashyapa is the father of ancient pediatrics who described about avachsa (unable to speak) nature of child in their treatise. In such situation, diagnose a child suffering from an ailment is quiet difficult. To overcome this situation Acharya Kashyapa described a chapter named vedanaadhyaya in his treatise Kashyapa Samhita. In this chapter he enumerates purvaroops (prodromal features) and roops (symptoms) of nearly 30 diseases. Thus, in present era this chapter enlightens us his deep knowledge regarding to understand the children’s problem. So, keep these things in mind author try to explore this chapter in today perspective with supporting evidence.

Introduction
Kashyapa Samhita is main authentic book for Kaumarbhritya that illustrate symptoms of children and help in diagnosis of disease. Neonatal and infancy period is very critical period because the baby depends upon other person like mother or wet nurse for fulfilling all his requirements. Healthy neonate/infant can grow well, feed/eat well, plays and sleep well but uneasiness experienced by the child could not easily express. Infant has got poverty of words as well as symptoms leading to difficulty and confusion in understanding the exact underlying disease. Acharya Kashyapa mentioned symptomatology of various diseases in Vednaadhyay [1] Kashyapa Samhita and these symptoms are very nearly relevant to modern symptomatology.

Constipation and blood in feces; pressure, pain & itching of anus and emaciation [34]
Relevance:-Symptoms described by Acharya Kashyapa seems to bleed hemorrhoids in which child shows constipation or passes hard and tight stool which cause erosion in rectal mucosa. Due to this bleeding is seen. If this continue then it causes anemia in such children. When an internal hemorrhoid prolapsed, it brings along mucus that can irritate the sensitive area around the anus causing itching. If the hemorrhoid stays prolapsed, mucus production continues and so does the itching. If stool mixes with the mucus, that combination can make the irritation, and thus the itching [35].

Ashmari
Passing of excessive urine with sandy content and pain during urination. Child is excessively weeping and emaciated [36].
Relevance: - Above symptoms described by Acharya Kashyapa are similar to symptoms seen in urinary calculi. Approximately 7% of urinary calculi occur in children younger than 16 yr of age [37]. The composition and site of urinary calculi vary, depending on the pathogenesis. Most stones are composed of calcium, oxalate, uric acid, cystine, ammonium, or phosphate crystals [38]. Children with urolithiasis usually has gross or microscopic hematuria. If the calculus is in the renal pelvis, calyx, or ureter and causes obstruction, then abdominal or flank pain (renal colic) occurs. Typically, the pain radiates anteriorly to the scrotum or labia. Often the pain is intermittent, corresponding to periods of obstruction of urine flow, which increases the pressure in the collecting system. If the calculus is in the distal ureter, the child may have irritative symptoms of dysuria, urgency, and frequency. If the stone has passed into the bladder, the child is usually asymptomatic. If the stone is in the urethra, dysuria and difficulty voiding may result. Some children pass small amounts of gravel-like material [37].

Relevance:- These symptoms correlate to intestinal obstruction. In the newborn cause of obstruction is congenital malformation e.g. congenital atresia of oesophagus, congenital pyloric stenosis, Meconium ileus, congenital atresia of the duodenum ileum, necrotizing enterocolitis, volvus, Hirschsprung’s disease. In infancy intussusceptions and worm infestation are the main aetiology. Later on besides intussusceptions band or adhesions resulting from meckel’s diverticulum or local peritonitis due to appendicitis, tubercular peritonitis and tabes mesenterica are the leading cause in childhood. Intestinal colic, vomiting, distension, constipation and dehydration are common clinical features seen in intestinal obstruction [44]. Symptoms described by Acharya Kashyapa under the heading of alsaka are closely resemble to intestinal obstruction occurs due to necrotizing enterocolitis. It is devastating disease that affects mostly the intestine of premature infants. The wall of the intestine is invaded by bacteria, which cause local infection and inflammation that can ultimately destroy the wall of the bowel (intestine). Overall, NEC affects one in 2,000 to 4,000 births, or between one percent and five percent of neonatal intensive care unit admissions. The disease occurs in nearly 10 percent of premature infants but is rare in full term infants. NEC typically develops within the first 2 weeks of life in a premature infant who is being fed with formula as opposed to breast milk. One of the first signs of NEC is the inability of the infant to tolerate the feedings. This is often associated with abdominal distention (bloating) and vomiting bile (green). The infant may also have bloody stools because of the infection of the bowel wall. If the infection is not recognized early, then the child may develop a low respiratory rate or periodic breathing (apnea) and a low heart rate that may necessitate insertion of a breathing tube. Other findings may include a red and tender abdomen diarrhea, lethargy (listlessness) and shock (decreased blood pressure). Prompt diagnosis and treatment of NEC can protect infant from surgery and other complication [45,46]. In terms of Ayurveda when vata increased then it associates with kapha and obstruct the movement of undigested food inside cause stay like foreign body with severe abdominal pain, vomiting and diarrhea.

Kamla
Yellowish discoloration of eyes, face, nails, feces and urine. In both Pandu & Kamala child becomes apathetic and shows poor digestive fire along with desire for blood [54].
Relevance: - The symptoms described by Acharya Kashypa in Kamla are similar to the features found in neonatal jaundice. About 60% of term and 80% of preterm infants develop jaundice during first week of life. Most of the jaundice of the newborns is physiological. Most common causes of unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia are prematurity, breast milk jaundice, haemolytic disease of newborn (HDN) (ABO & Rh incompatibility), congenital or acquired sepsis, cephalohematoma, bruising, hypothyroidism, crigler-najjar syndrome etc. Common clinical features are yellowish discoloration of the eye, face, nail, feces and urine with loss of appetite. Jaundice in neonates develops in cephalocaudal direction [55]. When serum total bilirubin crosses 20 mg/dl then it crosses blood brain barrier and cause severe hyperbilirubinemia or kernicterus. This severe hyperbilirubinemia can cause encephalopathy with important sequel among surviving infants, including athetotic cerebral palsy, sensory neural hearing loss, paralysis of upward gaze and dental enamel dysplasia. At this time exchange blood transfusion [56] saves neonate life which can justify desire of blood as per narration roodhirsprha by Acharya Kashyapa.

Pinasa and Uroghat
Mouth breathing, interval of breast sucking to have proper breathing, running nose, hot forehead, sneezing, cough, compressed chest and features as that of pinasa. Rapid thoracic breathing occurs in Uroghat [57].
Relevance: Above features of Pinasa can be correlated with infection of nasopharynx which is called as common cold or acute nasopharyngitis. It is the most common infection in children whose 5 to 8 episodes occur in one year. It is caused by viruses like rhinovirus, adenoviruses, influenza, parainfluenza or respiratory syncytial viruses and corona viruses. These are spread by droplet infection. Predisposing factors include chilling, sudden exposure to cold air, and overcrowding. Rhinitis could also be due to allergy. Clinical manifestations are more distressing in infants and young children. The common manifestation includes nasal discharge, initially watery than thick white to yellowish, nasal block, cough and conjunctival congestion. Nasal block causes difficulty in feeding, irritability, excessive crying and breathing from mouth. Occasionally may be complicated by secondary bacterial sinusitis and otitis media. Acute nasopharyngitis is caused by virus and selflimiting requires no specific treatment [58].
