2.5.5
Here, when the three [doshas] beginning with vāta are provoked and corrupt the four [tissues] beginning with skin: if vāta is predominant, kapālakuṣṭha develops; if pitta [is predominant], audumbara; if phlegm [is predominant], maṇḍalakuṣṭha; if vāta and pitta [predominate], ṛṣyajihva; if pitta and phlegm [predominate], puṇḍarīka; if phlegm and vāta [predominate], sidhmakuṣṭha; and upon the increase of all doshas, kākaṇaka develops. Thus is this sevenfold distinction of kuṣṭha.
