DISEASES (ROGA, UPATĀPA)—Pāṇini frames rules for naming diseases after, e.g. (1) time (*kāla*); e.g. *dvitīyaka*, *chaturthaka*, fevers appearing after two or four days; (2) cause or effect (*prayojana*); e.g. fevers with shivering (*śītaka*) or heat (*ushṇaka*), or fevers produced by poisons as *vishpushpa*, and *kāsapushpa* (*Kāśikā*).
