The Compendium of Bheḷa 2.5

pippalī, kākamācī, and likuca with curd and ghee; / vātāyu with milk; radish along with jaggery;

and any other such incompatible [food]—by eating that; / also by suppressing vomiting, and by adopting improper dietary regimens;

by consuming burnt and burning food without having vomited [the previous meal]; / and on a journey, by consuming water when freshly purged and fatigued;

by eating fish, milk, and limes together in one meal; / and by resorting to similar things, kuṣṭha arises in a person.

A person who is always of phlegmatic constitution, who resorts to phlegm-producing food / and indulges in day-sleep—his phlegm increases.

Increased, it corrupts his muscle, skin, and blood; / the skin is elevated by the morbid humor, and he then sweats because of it.

Thereupon the kuṣṭhas arise: dadru, sidhma, / and variegated round patches; I shall declare their characteristics.

Dense circular patches here, resembling boils everywhere, / accompanied by itching and spreading—one should designate them as dadrukuṣṭha.

When they discharge, elevated by the morbid humors in a person, / they then exude sliminess [from] his core and base.

Aggregated, pale, covered with muddy scabs, / arising in the skin, dry, and also thin circular patches—

one should know them as sidhmakuṣṭha; indeed, they become so; / and when the morbid humors discharge, [the fluid is] slimy and honey-colored.

Circular patches that are white and dense-elevated everywhere— / one should know them as maṇḍalakuṣṭha, which ulcerate slowly in humans.

When they do ulcerate, they discharge white [matter]; / thus one should designate the three kuṣṭhas arising from phlegm.

A person who is always of windy constitution, who resorts to wind-producing food / and exposes himself to wind and sunshine—his wind increases.

Increased, it corrupts his skin, muscle, and blood; / the skin is elevated by the morbid humor, and he then sweats because of it.

Because of that, when muscle and blood are corrupted, kapālakuṣṭha [develops] in him, / in a person whose wind is increased; I shall declare its characteristics.

Rough, reddish-brown, and even circular patches— / one should know them as kapālakuṣṭha, which ulcerate slowly in humans.

A person who is always of bilious constitution, who resorts to bile-producing food / and exposes himself to wind and sunshine—his bile becomes aggravated.

Increased, it then corrupts his skin, muscle, and blood; / the skin is elevated by the morbid humor, and he then sweats because of it.

Then kuṣṭhas arise when muscle and blood are corrupted, / or upon the aggravation of bile; I shall declare their characteristics.

Those circular patches here that are the color of a ripe udumbara fig— / one should know them as audumbara; here they are incurable in humans.

When the audumbara kuṣṭhas reach ulceration, / they then indeed become circular patches.

And those circular patches here that resemble a puṇḍarīka lotus— / the wise one should know them as puṇḍarīka, which are curable.

When those puṇḍarīka [kuṣṭhas] reach ulceration, / one should then designate them as ṛśyajihva kuṣṭha.

Circular patches that have the color of a blue water-lily in appearance— / one should designate those as ṛśyajihva kuṣṭhas; they are incurable.

When the ṛśyajihva [kuṣṭhas] ulcerate completely, / the intelligent person should then designate them as kākaṇa.

Those circular patches here that have the color of a guñjā berry— / they call them kākaṇa; they are to be rejected as incurable in humans.

Thus the diagnosis of kuṣṭha has indeed been explained in proper order; / having heard it here, the intelligent person should eat wholesome and easily digested food.
Thus said the venerable Ātreya.
Thus ends the fifth chapter in the Nidāna of Bheḷa.
Sixth chapter.
Now, therefore, we shall explain the diagnosis of prameha; thus said the venerable Ātreya.
