From that burning, the patient feels as though his whole body were being strewn with live coals; he is overwhelmed by vomiting, diarrhea, fainting, burning, confusion, fever, tamaka cough, anorexia, bursting pain in bones and joints, thirst, indigestion, aching of the limbs, and so forth; whichever region the visarpa spreads to, that region looks like extinguished coals or becomes intensely red, and it is covered with blisters resembling burns from fire; due to its swift course, it quickly reaches the vital spots; and when a vital spot is tormented, the excessively powerful vāta causes intense tearing pain in the limbs, utterly deranges consciousness, produces hiccup and dyspnea, and destroys sleep; deprived of sleep, bewildered in consciousness, and anguished in mind, he finds comfort nowhere; overcome with restlessness, he wants to move from standing to sitting to bed; heavily tormented, he falls asleep quickly, becomes weak, and wakes with difficulty; one should know such a patient afflicted by agnivisarpa to be incurable.
