[INDOLOGY] help with a phrase

[Dominik Wujastyk]

I'm just seeing this today.  Shrikant nailed it and Vitus found the best SS
citation.  I can't improve on anything.

Vāgbhaṭa says, somewhere in Sūtrasthāna 1 of the Aṣṭāṅgahṛdaya, that
doṣasāmyam is health and doṣavaiṣamyam is illness.

In Canto 12 of the Buddhacarita, when Arāḍa Kālāma meets the Buddha, they
enquire politely about each other's dhātusāmya.  (doṣa and dhātu often mean
the same.)  Olivelle 2008, Clay Library:
