From depletion of blood in them (the apālāpa marmans), one dies pale, discolored, and emaciated. On both flanks, on the outer part of the hips, on either side of the spine, are the two kukundaras. Injury to them causes loss of sensation in the lower body and loss of movement. Above the hips and the ears, covering the viscera and attached between the flanks, are the two nitambas. Injury to them causes swelling in the lower body, debility, and death. Attached below within the flanks, between the hips and flanks, oblique and upward, are the two pārśvasandhis. Injury to them causes death due to the abdomen filling with blood. And when these are produced, these signs become more distinct. \[The faces of\] a crow, an owl, a wolf, a leopard, a cow, a horse, a mongoose, a serpent— One should know that it is enveloped by pitta; one should remove it with sweet and bitter enemas. Likewise, one whose mind is afflicted with insanity or epilepsy, or who is afflicted by diseases such as fever— and especially a wounded person, through the smell of pus, blood, and fat. - [Previous: 7.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.med.samhita.astangasamgraha~en-mt.7.6) - [Next: 7.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.med.samhita.astangasamgraha~en-mt.7.8) - [Up: 7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.med.samhita.astangasamgraha~en-mt.7) ## Linked texts (1) - [Aṣṭāṅgasaṃgraha](https://indike.org/pramana/in.med.samhita.astangasamgraha.7.7) — Vāgbhaṭa, Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.med.samhita.astangasamgraha~en-mt.7.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.med.samhita.astangasamgraha~en-mt.7.7) · Pramāṇa
