Which grahani roga type features thickened kledaka kapha leading to dampened agni, making the grahani swollen, plump, and sluggish?

• A. Vata type
• B. Sannipata grahani roga
• C. Kapha type
• D. Pitta type

Answer: (C)

The concept being tested is how the dominant dosha shapes the presentation of grahani. When kapha is the dominant influence, its qualities—heaviness, moisture, and sluggishness—predominate in the GI region. Thickened kledaka kapha, the gastric mucus, further dampens jatharagni (the digestive fire), so digestion slows and the grahani area becomes swollen, plump, and dull. This combination—heavy, moist, slow digestion with a damped fire—is classic for a kapha-type grahani. In contrast, a vata-dominant pattern would emphasize dryness and movement, a pitta-dominant pattern would emphasize heat and burning symptoms, and sannipata would mix features from all three, not the characteristic heaviness and dampness driven by kapha.
