ABSTRACT
Pragyaparadha, or the transgression of an individual's intellect, is one of the Trividha Roga Ayatana, a three-fold classification of the etiological factors of diseases as described by Acharya Charaka in Sutra Sthana. The three primary causes are intellectual misuse (Pragyapradha), sensory misuse (Asatmendriyartha samyoga), and seasonal variations (Parinama Or Kala). Maintaining health through proper application of Ahara (diet) and Vihara (daily routine). Ayurveda also classified disease causes into three categories: 1. Asatmendriyartha Samyoga 2. Pragyaparadha and 3. Parinama (Kaala). Pragyaparadha causes disorientation in intellect, patience and memory. The causes of mental disorders are numerous in Ayurveda.
