The ‘twenty species of parasites’ are: lice and pipīlikās—these two types arising from external impurities; keśāda, lomāda, lomadvīpa, saurasa, audumbara, and jantumātṛ—these six arising from blood; antrāda, udarāveṣṭa, hṛdayāda, curu, darbhapuṣpa, saugandhika, and mahāguda—these seven arising from kapha; kakeruka, makeruka, leliha, saśūlaka, and sausurāda—these five arising from feces. / The ‘twenty pramehas’ are: udakameha, ikṣubālikārasameha, sāndrameha, sāndraprasādameha, śuklameha, śukrameha, śītameha, śanairmeha, sikatāmeha, and lālāmeha—these ten caused by kapha; kṣārameha, kālameha, nīlameha, lohitameha, mañjiṣṭhāmeha, and haridrāmeha—these six caused by pitta; and vasāmeha, majjāmeha, hastimeha, and madhumeha—these four caused by vāta: thus there are twenty pramehas. / The ‘twenty gynecological disorders’ are: vātika, paittika, ślaiṣmika, and sānnipātika—these four arising from the doṣas; the remaining sixteen are specified by designation of the combinations of doṣas and tissues, namely: raktayoni, arajaskā, acaraṇā, aticaraṇā, prākcaraṇā, upaplutā, pariplutā, udāvartinī, karṇinī, putraghnī, antarmukhī, sūcīmukhī, śuṣkā, vāminī, ṣaṇḍhayoni, and mahāyoni: thus there are twenty gynecological disorders.
