Prajnaparadha (Samskrit : प्रज्ञापराधः) refers to the intellectual errors leading to improper actions that result in imbalances of bodily constituents.

The cause of improper decisions and actions is rooted in one's own intellectual error thus, this intellectual error is considered as one of the fundamental causes of the disease.
