Tibeten~Sanskrit Idiom Query

[Dominik Wujastyk]

It's at my elbow, so

Aṣṭāṅgahṛdaya 1.1.34:

tyajed ārtaṃ bhiṣagbhūpair dviṣṭaṃ teṣāṃ dviṣaṃ dviṣam/
hīnopakaraṇam vyagram avidheyaṃ gatāyuṣam // 34 //

> From my Roots tr.:
One should not accept a patient who is hated by physicians and kings alike,
or who has long hated them.  Nor should one accept a person who does not
have any medical necessities, who is distracted, unbiddable [avidheyam], or
whose life has run out.

"dviṣaṃ dviṣam" is, I believe, an intensive reduplication of the rare
indeclinable gerund form in -am.  Macdonell paragraph 166.    Opinions?

On avidheya, the commentator Aruṇadatta says "avidheyaṃ - bhiṣajaḥ, tadājñāṃ
yo na karoti, tam api tyajet" i..e., who doesn't do as he's told.  Hemādri
says, "avidheyaṃ - vaidyasyānadhīnam" i.e., not obedient to the doctor.
